Polls Show Americans Rate Biden Negatively

Recent polls indicate that a majority of Americans believe President Biden's legacy will be viewed unfavorably, with 44% considering him a failed president and only 5% viewing him as great. According to a Marist poll, more than half of respondents expect Biden to be remembered as below average or one of the worst presidents, while a USA Today/Suffolk survey corroborates these sentiments. Biden's approval ratings have dipped to around 37%, marking a significant decline since he took office, driven largely by perceptions of economic mismanagement and national security issues. Gallup polling also reflects his low ratings compared to predecessors like Trump and Obama, particularly on immigration and federal debt. In an exit interview, Biden attributed his unpopularity to a failure to communicate his accomplishments effectively, a critique that highlights ongoing tensions within the Democratic party regarding their policies. As Biden prepares to leave office on January 20, public sentiment suggests a challenging historical assessment awaits his presidency.
