According to a new poll issued on Saturday, President Joe Biden seems to be indifferent to the rising cost of living that many voters are experiencing on a daily basis.
According to the study, most people think Biden has hurt rather than helped the nation’s economy. Voters expressed dissatisfaction with Biden’s apparent diversion from solving the economic problems caused by rising living expenses and inflation by focusing on other matters.
Democratic candidate Trelicia Mornes told the Associated Press, “Now that [Biden] is in office, the cost of living has skyrocketed out of control, and there is nothing being done about it.” “He merely decides to pursue different interests.”
Mornes went on to say that Biden can assist Americans who are having trouble paying high costs, such as the escalating costs of food and rent.
Another voter stated that she thought previous President Donald Trump’s policies helped the economy flourish and that many of the problems Americans are facing now, such as high prices, did not exist four years ago.
Republican congresswoman from Texas Christina Elliott said, “Given the cost of gasoline, the cost of food, and the state of the economy, I fared extremely well over those four years.” “I did not have to worry about going to the grocery store and blowing half of my money.”
The COVID-19 outbreak and the way the nation handled its economy in the wake of it are largely to blame for the nation’s economic problems. Despite the fact that the pandemic resulted in the loss of many jobs, Trump’s low interest rates and government stimulus packages helped American families maintain lower expenditures during the global health crisis.
After the outbreak ended, Biden faced a number of challenges, including problems with the supply chain. However, experts assert that his legislative initiatives and other expensive aid packages for Ukraine have caused rising inflation.
One voter with a Democratic leaning expressed her belief that spending on non-economic items is excessive.
In terms of funding for immigration and student loan forgiveness, Nadia Stepicheva expressed her opinion that “the last four years have gotten too much.”
While Stepicheva stated that she opposes illegal immigration, she does think that those who enter the nation without authorization should be permitted to work so that the government is not obliged to foot the bill for their accommodation and food.
Regarding the economy, Biden is likewise receiving bad marks from independents. According to an AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll, nearly six out of ten independents believe Biden has negatively impacted the nation’s cost of living.
Regarding immigration and job growth, voters likewise think poorly of Biden. Over 50% of the participants stated that Biden has exacerbated the situation for the nation due to immigration, while over 33% stated that Biden has exacerbated the situation because of job development.
Regarding foreign policy, Biden and Trump were virtually in agreement, and the same was true for healthcare. However, Trump received poor marks for voting rights, climate change, and abortion rights.
The survey, which polled 1,204 adults between April 4 and 8, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
