President Biden’s approval rating has fallen to a new low of 40% in the wake of the recent Israel-Hamas war, according to a new poll from ABC News/Washington Post. The poll found that 57% of Americans disapprove of the job Biden is doing as president, while only 40% approve.
The poll was conducted before the Biden administration announced its decision to send $735 million in additional military aid to Israel, a move that is likely to further erode Biden’s standing with the American public.
Biden’s approval rating has been steadily declining since he took office in January, and the Israel-Hamas war has only accelerated this trend. The war has been widely unpopular with the American public, with a recent poll from the Pew Research Center finding that 74% of Americans believe that the United States should not take sides in the conflict.
In addition to the war, Biden has also been criticized for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, and the ongoing economic crisis. These issues have contributed to a growing sense of disillusionment with Biden among the American public.
It remains to be seen whether Biden will be able to regain the public’s trust and approval. However, the recent polls suggest that he faces an uphill battle.
