Joe Biden's Approval Rating Low Despite Capitol Hill Speech

US

President Joe Biden's approval rating remains poor despite the more assertive stance adopted in his speech last week on Capitol Hill.


  • Democrat strategists had been hoping that the combative speech that the President delivered on the anniversary of the January 6 unrest might have provided a bump in his approval ratings. Biden's speech came amidst calls from the Liberal press to take a stronger position towards former president Donald Trump and his allies within the GOP.
  • White House advisors had concluded that low approval ratings could be partially attributed to a lack of engagement with Donald Trump and the controversies surrounded the 2020 presidential elections. Daily approval rating trackers rasmussenreports.com and fivethirtyeight.com suggest that this strategy has not yet been successful.
  • Respondents cite inflation and the government's handling of the Covid-19 response as the primary contributors to Joe Biden's poor approval rating.
