An NBC News poll released Sunday was so woeful for President Joe Biden that "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd admitted the results were "scary news for the Democrats."
Biden's approval rating in the NBC News poll dived underwater for the first time in his presidency. The poll conducted Oct. 23-26 found that 42% of U.S. adults approved of Biden's job performance — a 7-point drop from August — while 54% disapproved. This is a near reversal from April's poll that showed 53% approval and 39% disapproval.
The poll — conducted by Hart Research Associates and Public Opinion Strategies that included 82% registered voters — revealed that only 37% of respondents believe Biden is "competent and effective as president," compared with 50% who declare him not to be. Just 37% of respondents trusted that Biden could handle a crisis, while 47% said he could not."Democrats face a country whose opinion of President Biden has turned sharply to the negative since April," Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research said. "The promise of the Biden presidency — knowledge, competence and stability in tough times — have all been called into question."
Todd said, "Americans have lost their confidence in President Joe Biden and their optimism for the country."Only 28% of survey-takers said Biden was doing a "good" or "very good" job of uniting the country, a campaign promise the president often vowed to accomplish if he was elected.
