In December 2021, the Biden administration’s disapproval rating hit a record high, per a report by Harry Wilmerding of the Daily Caller.
According to a poll released by CNBC/Change, voters are frustrated with how the President has managed the economy and his leadership throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
56% of poll respondents indicated they disapprove of Biden’s performance as president, which is Biden’s worst rating so far into his presidency.
Previous polls showed Biden’s disapproval rating standing around 54% in September 2021 and 49% in April 2021.
Biden’s approval rating is at 44%, which represents a consistent decline from September’s 46% and April 2021’s 51%, per the CNBC/Change data.
According to the poll results, voters of all demographic backgrounds prioritize the economy above other issues.
Of the 1,895 individuals who responded to the poll’s question, 60% indicated that they disapproved of the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S. economy.

Furthermore, about 72% of respondents disapprove of how the Biden administration is handling the price of everyday goods.
In addition, 66% disapproved of the Biden administration’s attempts to reduce the financial burden that inflation has imposed on American households.

Regarding COVID-19, 55% of respondents disapproved of the way the Biden administration has handled the pandemic.
