Results: Biden's poll numbers reach record low

Monmouth University released the findings of its latest public opinion survey that showed Biden facing his worst-ever job performance review since becoming president: 34% of respondents approve of his performance, and 61% disapprove. Also found in the national survey, which stretched from November 30 to December 4, was how Americans give Biden poor marks in several policy areas — particularly with inflation (68% disapprove) and immigration (69% disapprove). Do you think Biden has been doing a good job as President of the United States?

"The Biden administration keeps touting their infrastructure investments and a host of positive economic indicators. Those data points may be factual, but most Americans are still smarting from higher prices caused by post-pandemic inflation. This seems to be what's driving public opinion," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. "There is political danger in pushing a message that basically tells people their take on their own situation is wrong." Do you feel the Biden administration is "telling tales" and trying to make things out to be better than they actually are?

The grim findings were disclosed hours after The Washington Post published a report citing insider sources that said Biden and first lady Jill Biden have complained to aides and friends for months about the president's "dismal" numbers in his approval ratings and polls showing him behind in a potential general election rematch against former President Donald Trump. This reportedly included "stern words" after the National Thanksgiving Turkey Pardon in which Biden pressed aides on what his team and campaign were doing about his poll numbers. Do you believe that the Bidens' positive outlook on the upcoming election is only a facade they want the public to see - but in actuality, they are terrified of the implications of such low approval ratings - especially when the Democrats want to do anything possible to keep Trump from regaining the White House?

In addition to job performance, Biden is facing concerns about his fitness to serve a second term. Already the oldest person to be president at the age of 81, Biden would be 86 at the end of a second term. His tendency to lose his train of thought while speaking, along with moments caught on camera where he has tripped or fallen over, have spurred concerns about Biden's ability to lead effectively within his own party. Do you feel Biden's age is of concern if he would be elected to a second term?

Biden snapped at a reporter, saying, "That's stupid," when asked last month if he was too old to run again. The commander-in-chief also told donors that he was "not sure" he would be running for re-election in 2024 if Trump wasn't also competing. Biden then suggested that "probably 50" other Democrats could defeat Trump in his place. On Sunday, in response to a question about polls showing him trailing Trump, Biden claimed people are viewing "the wrong polls." Do you feel someone else on the Democrat ticket would have a better chance to defeat Trump than Biden? (Feel free to share who that would be in the comments)
