Biden approval to 34%, historic low faith in economy

A gold-standard pollster heralded by Democrats for her accuracy has just pulled the rug out from under the White House with the worst findings yet for President Joe Biden.

Ann Selzer, who conducts the famous Iowa Poll, working with Iowa’s Grinnell College, has found nationally that Biden’s approval rating has sunk to 34% and that most respondents believe the economy is also heading south.

“The latest edition of the Grinnell College National Poll (Grinnell-Selzer) shows that nearly 6 in 10 Americans believe the economy will get worse in the next 12 months — the highest number recorded in the history of the poll. And the pessimism about the future of the economy may be weighing down President Joe Biden’s approval ratings across the board,” said the poll analysis.

Overall, Biden’s approval rating is 34%, with 52% disapproving and 14% who don’t know.

“It’s interesting to me that the ‘not sure’ factor is as high as it is,” said Selzer of Selzer & Company. “It seems unlikely that Joe Biden isn’t well known enough to make a judgment. I believe this is a reflection of the high level of uncertainty everywhere – the war in Ukraine, inflation, COVID-19 and more,” she added.

Some in Washington today took note of her latest poll because of her accuracy in the past and presumably because it also recorded among the lowest approval ratings yet for the stumbling president.

Selzer has been called “the best pollster in politics” by influential polling media site FiveThirtyEight:
