President Biden Disapproval Rises Amid Reponses To Israel

US

President Biden has finished the week with an approval rating which continues to sink despite a general approval of his handling of the major crisis in the Middle East.

  • According to RealClearPolitics, Biden's approval rating currently stands at 40.8%. Biden's disapproval rating is touching year highs.
  • The Washington Post reports that, although a strong majority of voters approval of US support to Israel, "a surge of pro-Palestinian feelings on the part of progressives, especially younger ones, that could jeopardize the fragile alliance Biden has carefully nurtured with the left over the past three years."
  • AP reports: "Democrats in Michigan have warned the White House that President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict could cost him enough support within the Arab American community to sway the outcome of the 2024 election in a state he almost certainly can’t afford to lose in his bid for reelection."
