Latest CNN Poll Contains More Bad Immigration News for the President
Biden’s immigration policies have never been popular, but are becoming more unpopular
By Andrew R. Arthur on December 17, 2021
Between December 8 and 12, survey firm SSRS conducted a poll for CNN of 1,256 U.S. adults, which was released on December 15. Subsequent CNN reporting focused on that poll’s “gloomy” take on the U.S. economy and respondents’ concerns about the supply chain and rising inflation, but President Biden received his worst marks on immigration. It shows the president’s immigration policies, which have never been popular, are becoming even less so.
There are some bright spots — of sorts — for Biden in that poll. His overall approval rating (49 percent) has increased one percentage point over similar polling conducted between November 1 and 4, and his disapproval rating fell one point as well, to 51 percent from 52 percent the month before.
That said, approval of the way that Biden is handling the Covid-19 pandemic fell from similar polling between August 3 and September 7. In the latest poll, 54 percent approve of the way that the president is handling the pandemic, with 45 percent disapproving. In the earlier poll, the results were 56 percent approval versus 44 percent disapproval.
