“It’s the economy, stupid.” That’s a basic statement of fact that politicians ignore at their peril.
However, the American public is not happy with the current state of the economy. That’s not looking good for Joe Biden and the Democrats, especially with a new ABC/Ipsos poll that was taken over the past two days.
More than two in three — 69 percent of Americans — disapprove of Joe Biden’s handling of inflation, while 57 percent disapprove of his handling of the economic recovery, according to the poll. The polling results show that a staggering 69 percent of Americans disapprove of Joe Biden’s handling inflation. Americans are being hit hard in the pocketbook, they’re not liking it, and they’re rightly blaming Biden.
The economy and the safety of Americans in their communities are just as crucial as crime. This security is suffering, particularly in liberal areas. It’s likely resulted in the red-pilling of some liberals when they see how badly Democratic policies on crime and bail have been playing out, and they have to live under that regime. When the crime is at your doorstep from a thug that the Democratic DA let out the door, it’s hard to reason that away.
Biden’s numbers went down across most rubrics, but the dive in their opinion of Biden’s handling of crime was sharp — only about 36 percent of Americans supported him in the ABC/Ipsos poll. That was a dive from 43 percent from their polling in October, so it’s getting worse.
Although the poll has him slightly over water in the handling of the pandemic it’s at the lowest it’s been for him on the subject at 53 percent. And people are more concerned about inflation — another problem for Biden.
Americans don’t trust Joe Biden with their dealings on the global stage with Vladimir Putin. Does the Zoom phone call with Putin have any effect? Not at all, and it’s not hard to understand why when he says things about making an “accommodation” with Putin. 55 percent are dissatisfied with the manner Biden has handled relations to Russia. That’s another big disapproval number. It is now only 38 percent that Biden can deal with Putin. This compares to 49% in June.
This poll is a follow-up to a Wall Street Journal poll released last week that asked what the numbers were for possible rematches with President Donald Trump. It has a tight race at 46 percent for Biden and Trump at 45 percent, with that one point being within the survey’s sampling error.
More people said that they wanted to see Trump’s policies again, with 48 percent of those indicating they want them to continue following the Biden policies.
The shift was in Hispanic support towards Trump, as we noted. The one percent difference is within the margin of error, and most polls seem to trend to Democrats — so this has to look darn good at this point.
🚨🚨Poll results from a new survey @WSJHispanic voters are witnessing a major shift:
☑️ Biden’s approval rating among Hispanics is 12 pts underwater
☑️Hispanics will now be evenly divided on the 2022 Congressional ballot, for the first-ever time.

According to polls, Hispanic voters voted for Democratic House candidates over 60% last year. The Journal survey revealed that Hispanic voters were evenly divided on which party they would vote for in Congress. When asked which party they’d support if it were today’s election, 37% responded that they would vote for the Republican candidate, while 37% said they would choose the Democrat. 22% of respondents were undecided.
When asked about the possibility of a rematch between last year’s presidential candidates in 2024, Hispanic voters were evenly split with 44% supporting President Biden and 43% backing former President Donald Trump. According to AP VoteCast (a vast survey of the American presidential electorate), Mr. Biden received 63% support from Hispanic voters in 2020. This is nearly 30 percentage points more than Trump.
Independent support for Biden was at just 36 percent according to the WSJ poll.
Biden is out of favor in two polls that were released over the past week. A Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll released on Thursday has Trump up 42 percent over Biden at 38 percent, and a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey had Trump up 48 percent to Biden at 45 percent.
It is clear that Biden, and all Democrats, are headed for serious problems in 2022 and 2024.
