(John Ransom, Headline USA) Two new polls should have Democrats pressing the panic button as they both show President Joe Biden breaking into the 30% range for job approval, closer to a batting average than an employment evaluation.
CNBC’s All-America survey shows the president with just a 38% approval rating. The biggest knock on Biden is the economy, which continues to struggle under inflationary pressures that are largely the result of Democrats’ reckless spending.
The news is worse from Quinnipiac, which finds Biden at a 33% approval rating, with 56% of people disapproving and 13% offering no opinion.
The numbers are a little better for Biden if one just polls registered voters said the left-leaning Quinnipiac.
“Among registered voters, 35 percent approve of Biden’s job performance, while 55 percent disapprove with 10 percent not offering an opinion,” said the survey.

The bad news doesn’t stop with the top line number either.
According to Gallup, the group that is most disenchanted with the president are younger Americans, who are more inclined to describe themselves as independents than older generations.
In general, the results represent a break-up of the coalition that Obama put together to govern the Democrats since he was elected in 2008.
“In addition to the 21-point decline in Biden job approval among Generation Z adults, and the slightly larger 23-point drop among 18- to 29-year-old adults, Black and Hispanic adults also show big drops,” said Gallup.
Americans are so fed up with Biden that even in an area like the war in Ukraine, where US ally Ukraine is showing significantly better than predicted against Russia, voters are still angry with Biden.
Only 39% of Americans approve of Biden’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine while 48% of Americans disapprove.
“The heartbreaking images from 4,000 miles away leave Americans with a longing to do more, for those fleeing the Russian onslaught, and for those staying to fight,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy. “But the moral outrage stops at the water’s edge when it comes to committing the U.S. military to the fight.”
Many blame Biden’s diplomacy failures—in particular, his projection of US military weakness in Afghanistan—and his family’s own financial stake in Ukrainian corruption as factors in Putin’s decision to “de-Nazify” the ex-Soviet satellite as Western NATO allies continued to act provocatively along the Russia–Ukraine border.
