President Joe Biden’s approval rating in May fell to its lowest level in almost two years, Reuters/Ipsos poll found Tuesday, deepening reelection concerns.
Only 36% approve of Biden, down two points since April. It matches his lowest-ever approval rating in July 2022.
On the question of who managed the economy better, Trump soared ten points above Biden (40-30 percent).
Trump also held a massive lead on the issue of border security. Trump leads Biden 42 percent to Biden’s paltry 25 percent.
Reuters did not immediately provide the sample size among U.S adults. The margin of error was three percentage points.
- NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist: A majority of independent voters believe Biden is a greater threat to democracy than Trump.
- ABC News/Ipsos: Trump is in a dead heat with Biden among suburban women.
- USA Today/Suffolk University: Among Hispanics, Trump leads Biden by five points (39-34 percent).
- Wall Street Journal: 30 percent of black men and 11 percent of black women intend to vote for Trump.
- New York Times: Trump and Biden are essentially tied among 18-to-29-year-olds.
Biden’s allies are panicked. “It should be a wake-up call,” CNN’s Van Jones said last week. “Young people are upset. And it’s not just the situation in Gaza — the economic prospects for young people are miserable.”
