While the White House is facing crises on several fronts, Biden's popularity peaked in the latest Harvard Capes / Harris poll.
Biden's popularity fell to 39 percent in the poll, which was published exclusively for the US-affiliated Hill News website. In the poll, 18 percent of registered voters said they strongly endorsed Biden's performance, while 21 percent said they endorsed it to some extent. Meanwhile, 53% said they were somewhat or severely dissatisfied with the performance of the US President.
According to Hill, this figure is 6% lower than Biden's popularity in November, which was 45%; While the level of dissatisfaction with him has increased compared to 51% two months ago. His 39 percent approval rating is the lowest since the Harvard Caps / Harris poll began in March.
The poll comes as the White House faces a number of internal and external issues. Inflation has caused economic unrest across the United States, reaching its highest level in decades due in part to the coronavirus epidemic, and the US health care system has been plagued by the omicron wave. Externally, the Washington-Moscow talks on Ukraine and European security issues have so far failed.
The poll was conducted with the participation of 1,815 registered voters from January 19 to 20 in collaboration with the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and the Harris poll.
Earlier, the latest Reuters / Ipsus poll found that public satisfaction with US President Joe Biden's performance rose to 43%.
According to Reuters, Biden's continuing slump in popularity has sounded the alarm in his party, and Democrats worry that discontent could come at the cost of losing a majority in Congress in the Nov. 8 election. If Republicans take control of the House or Senate, Biden's legislative plan will fail.
On the other hand, the results of a joint poll by Paltico and the Morning Consulting Institute show that 68% of Americans believe that their country is on the wrong track.
In another poll, according to the Gallup polling institute, Biden averaged 48.9 percent of the vote in his first year in office, just ahead of his predecessor, Donald Trump.
However, Biden said in response to a reporter's question about how he would like to regain the views of the moderates and supporters of the independent parties who voted for him in the 2020 elections:
I do not believe in polls.
The American weekly Newsweek also recently conducted a poll on Biden's performance, which showed that only 4% of Americans believe that the situation is very good.
