Biden falls to record low 27% approval among independents, down 8 points since October: poll

President Biden’s job approval rating among independents has hit an all-time low, according to a new poll.

Only 27% of political independents approve of the job Biden, 81, has done in the White House, an 8-point drop from last month, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday.

Contributing to the president’s lackluster approval from key voters is his handling of the economy and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where Biden received even lower ratings from independents.

Among the unaffiliated, Gallup measured Biden’s rating on the economy at 24%, and his efforts to navigate the United States’ role in the Middle East conflict received just 25% approval.

The president received slightly better marks for his handling of Russia’s war in Ukraine, 31%, foreign affairs in general, 28% and health policy, 35%.

According to the survey, about 49% of Americans consider themselves politically independent.

The group has also expressed reservations in recent polls about Biden’s advanced age and his involvement in his son’s businesses.

A Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll released last week found that 59% of independents believe the president “assisted and participated in” his first son’s business dealings, which a Republican-led House impeachment inquiry launched In September he is investigating.

A Yahoo News poll, also released earlier this month, found that only 22% of independents think Biden is competent and 69% are concerned about his health and mental acuity.

Gallup’s telephone poll of 1,013 adults, conducted between Nov. 1 and Nov. 21, found that Biden’s overall job approval rating is 37%, marking the third time this year that the president has matched his record low.

“With less than a year until the presidential election, Biden continues to receive lukewarm ratings from the American public. “Her overall job approval rating is still at her personal lowest and is in historically dangerous territory for an incumbent seeking re-election,” the pollster said.
