WASHINGTON (77WABC) — A new CNN poll finds 6 in 10 American disapprove of how President Joe Biden is handling his presidency. Those polled said there’s literally nothing Biden has done as President that they approve of.
Those polled cited dissatisfaction with the handling of the COVID pandemic and the lack of agreement across party lines. 58% of those polled disapprove of the job Biden’s doing and only 41% of respondents approved.
The poll says just 36% of independents and 9% of Republicans approved. Although his approval rating still stood at 83% among Democrats, that was down from 94% late last summer.
Biden also continues to have more people against him than those who support him: 41% of Americans disapproved strongly of his performance as President versus 15% who strongly approved.
When those who disapproved of Biden’s overall performance were asked to name a single thing he’d done that they did approved of, 56% had nothing positive to say.
“I’m hard pressed to think of a single thing he has done that benefits the country,” one survey respondent told CNN.
Of those who generally approved of Biden, a smaller 26% couldn’t find anything negative to say. “I totally believe that he has the best interests of the American [p]eople in mind,” wrote another respondent. “I think he understands the severity and importance of his job and is doing the best he can.”
