Biden's Approval Rating Hits Historic Low as Trump's Popularity Rises
As the U.S. faces domestic and international challenges, the political landscape is marked by uncertainty and division.
- President Joe Biden's approval rating has dropped to 39%, the lowest of any modern-day president heading into a re-election year, with his handling of the Israel-Hamas war and immigration crisis cited as key issues.
- Despite facing four criminal indictments, former President Donald Trump has seen his popularity rise, leading in hypothetical match-ups against Biden in key battleground states.
- Congress has been marked by dysfunction and infighting, with House Republicans launching an impeachment inquiry into Biden and the ousting of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
- Global tensions have risen with the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, the conflict in Ukraine, and deteriorating relations between the U.S. and China.
- Despite these challenges, Biden has managed to strike a deal with House Republicans to raise the debt limit and improve economic conditions.
