As President Joe Biden’s time in office wanes, Rasmussen’s latest presidential tracking poll shows he has more detractors than supporters, and a stunning majority of likely US voters believe the country is on the wrong track.
Biden’s last day in office is Jan. 20, 2025, and according to The Guardian, his critics are accusing him of escalating the war between Russia and Ukraine by allowing the latter to use long-range US-supplied missiles against Russia.
According to Rasmussen, Biden currently has only 24 percent who “strongly approve” of his job performance, while 43 percent “strongly disapprove” of his work this week. Overall, 45 percent approve of Biden’s job performance while 54 percent disapprove.
As he enters his final two months in office, Biden is likely disappointed that 60 percent of likely voters believe the country is on the wrong track, while only 32 percent believe the U.S. is heading in the right direction.
Biden was essentially pushed aside by his own party in July in their effort to remain in power by running Kamala Harris for the presidency. What was expected to be a photo finish race turned out to be a trouncing for Harris, as Donald Trump captured all of the critical “battleground states” and 312 Electoral College votes. Republicans also strengthened their lead in the House and recaptured the U.S. Senate, all but assuring Trump’s cabinet nominees will have fairly smooth sailing, along with his judicial nominees over the next two years at least.
It is something of a bad dream for Democrats, whose fiscal and foreign policies have been disastrous on many fronts. Trump’s mandate pointed to such issues as the economy, Biden’s porous border policy and a string of high-profile violent crimes including murder and sexual assault by illegal aliens, and the escalating war in Ukraine.
As noted in The Guardian, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and Utah Sen. Mike Lee, both Republicans, raised alarms about Biden leading the country toward a possible world war. Donald Trump Jr. posted on “X” that, “The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives.”
Perhaps adding insult to injury, a separate Rasmussen survey revealed what most people already presumed: celebrity endorsements during the presidential election “made no difference at all” in how people voted. Rasmussen said 56 percent of voters weren’t swayed by such endorsements—Harris had all kinds of show business support, which allegedly cost the campaign millions of dollars—and another 19 percent said the endorsements “didn’t make much difference.”
