Biden Still Struggles on the Economy Despite Slowed Inflation: Poll
The poll reported that only 36% of American adults approve of how the president has handled the economy
President Joe Biden is struggling to gain approval on his handling of the economy, despite making vast efforts to boost his economic agenda and slowing inflation rates, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
The poll shows that only 36% of respondents approve of how the president has handled the economy, which is lower than the 42% that approve of his overall presidential performance.
Those figures remain fairly close to where Biden has been polling for about a year and a half, according to the poll, indicating that his administration's messaging touting his economic accomplishments has struggled to gain traction.
The unemployment rate is currently sitting at 3.5%, while the inflation rate has slowed to 3.2%.
Americans who responded that the economy is somewhat good or very good in the poll is 34%.
The poll surveyed 1,165 adults and was conducted Aug. 10-14. The sample was drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of error for this poll was plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
