Things have not been going well for the Biden administration, and that may just be the understatement of the year.
US President Joe Biden is failing; there’s really no other way to put it. The reluctant President has been unsurprisingly ineffective in office, with a number of swirling crises continuing to fester and boil, while he and the Vice President do very little to make a change.
And now, despite her own shortcomings, VP Kamala Harris has now surpassed Joe Biden in popularity – an embarrassing situation for the Commander in Chief.
The surprising polling results come from a poll in which just over 800 randomly sampled adults were interviewed by telephone between December 1st and the 16th. The purpose of the poll was to ascertain approval and disapproval for U.S Leaders.
Supreme Court Justice John Roberts earned the highest approval rating, while Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell were at the bottom of the list.
While Biden is only one point below his Vice President in approval ratings, it is no small thing that Kamala Harris is now considered on roughly the same level of approval as the commander in chief. Vice President Harris has faced a fair amount of insider backlash regarding her management style and a constant drumbeat of criticism from conservative media, particularly regarding the immigration policies she was delegated to handle by Biden.
Biden’s team is adamant about having Joe run for office again in 2024, but a series of polls have suggested that the nation, as well as the Democratic Party is not on board with that idea.
Maybe this latest mayday of a milestone will help him change his mind.
