Americans’ Perception of Biden’s Presidency
Now President Biden’s term has come to an end, a comprehensive poll conducted by J.L. Partners for DailyMail.com has revealed a stark reality: many Americans, regardless of political affiliation, view his presidency as largely undistinguished. When asked to describe Biden’s legacy in one word, the most common response was “nothing,” highlighting a pervasive narrative of dissatisfaction among the electorate.
Yes, “nothing.”
This sentiment is echoed across various polls and surveys. According to a recent Gallup poll, 54% of Americans believe Joe Biden will be remembered as a “below average” or “poor” president. His ratings are alarmingly similar to those of Richard Nixon, with a net rating of -42. These figures paint a grim picture of public perception towards the Biden administration’s accomplishments and effectiveness.
The disappointment in Biden’s presidency spans across different demographic groups. Notably, Black and Hispanic Americans, who have traditionally supported Democrats, express particularly high levels of dissatisfaction. This shift in sentiment among key Democratic constituencies could have significant implications for future elections.
“I feel as though the economy hasn’t progressed in a positive way since he’s been in office,” 30-year-old Evonte Terrell said, per PBS.
Young Americans are even more critical, with only about 1 in 10 under age 30 rating Biden’s presidency as “good” or “great.” This generational divide in approval ratings presents a challenging landscape for Biden and the Democratic Party moving forward.
