Biden's job approval 42 percent despite good marks on Ukraine response: poll
By Brett Samuels - 03/11/22 09:57 AM EST

A majority of voters in a new poll disapprove of President Biden's job performance, even as most give him positive marks for his handling of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

A Wall Street Journal poll published Friday found 42 percent approve of Biden's job performance, roughly the same percentage who approved of the president in a mid-November poll from the outlet. Fifty-seven percent in Friday's poll said they disapproved of Biden's performance.

Biden's struggles are owed to frustration among voters with his handling of inflation in particular, which half of respondents said was their top issue for the federal government to address.

The poll found 63 percent of voters disapproved of how Biden has handled inflation, and 47 percent of voters said they felt Republicans were better able to handle inflation, compared to 30 percent who said Democrats.

Rising costs have been a persistent issue for Biden, who has spoken about it frequently and tried to unclog supply chains and warn companies against price gouging. But there is little Biden can directly do to lower costs, and the conflict in Ukraine has only exacerbated the issue, particularly in the form of rising gas prices.

Still, Biden's approach to the Ukraine conflict was a bright spot in the poll for Biden. Half of voters said they approved of how he has dealt with Russia, with 44 percent disapproving.

Asked separately how he has handled the crisis in Ukraine, 47 percent said they approved of Biden's approach and 46 percent said they disapproved.

Bounce? What bounce? A new Wall Street Journal poll shows that voters remain unmoved by Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech, and by Democratic leadership in general. Biden remains 15 points underwater on overall job approval, but Democrats have lost ground on major issues — in fact, nearly all of them:


President Biden and his fellow Democrats have lost ground to Republicans on several of the issues most important to voters, a new Wall Street Journal poll finds, a troubling sign for the party seeking to extend its controlling majority of Congress for another two years.

The new survey showed that 57% of voters remained unhappy with Mr. Biden’s job performance, despite favorable marks for the president’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a recent State of the Union speech, which provided him an opportunity to directly speak to millions of Americans. Just 42% said they approved of Mr. Biden’s performance in office, which was virtually unchanged from the previous Journal poll in mid-November.

I'm quite certain the republicans will still manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory this time around.

Biden's doing terrible on Ukraine.  He's lucky the Russians used cheap Chi-com tires.

Let Ukrainian pilots walk into Poland and fly those Russian-made jets back to Ukraine.

Absolutely without a doubt. The RINOs are ensuring it.
