President Joe Biden hit yet another new low in his approval rating (37%) in the latest NBC News poll released Sunday, raising concern of the Democrat pollster, who said the “damning” results show “a presidency in peril.”
Former President Donald Trump not only leads Biden by 5 points (47%-42%) in the national poll, but also leads by big margins:
23 points on mental and physical health to be president (46%-23%)
22 points on handling the economy (55%-33%)
21 points on dealing with crime and violence (50%-29%)
16 points on being competent and effective (48%-32%)
11 points on improving America’s standing in the world (47%-36%)
35 points on securing the southern border (57%-22%)
Illegal immigration has been widely deemed the No. 1 voting issue, according to exit polls in the early GOP primary states.
“What is most concerning is the erosion of Biden’s standing against Trump compared to four years ago,” Democrat pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates told NBC News.
“On every measure compared to 2020, Biden has declined. Most damning, the belief that Biden is more likely to be up to the job — the chief tenet of the Biden candidacy — has evaporated.”
The numbers look great now for Trump and “difficult” for the incumbent going into the heart of the 2024 primary cycle, according to Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies.
