Joe Biden’s election disaster – President now trails Trump by as much as 10 points after a week of embarrassing blunders at the United Nations and the Congressional Black Caucus
- A new poll shows that incumbent Biden is trailing Trump
- Florida Governor DeSantis has fallen even further behind the GOP front-runner
- While Biden has touted his economic performance in office, voters have rejected his plan and said they are now worse off
A new poll from the WashingtonPost showed disastrous numbers for incumbent President Joe Biden, who now trails former President Donald Trump by 10 points in the latest measurement of the American electorate.
The 80-year-old president’s approval rating is about 37 percent, similar to where it was in May but five percentage points lower than in February.
Biden’s disapproval rating stands at 56 percent. The poll also asked whether voters, in retrospect, approve or disapprove of the job Trump did while in office.
Forty-eight percent say they agree and 49 percent say they disapprove. When he left office in January 2021, Trump’s approval rating was closer to 38 percent.
The Post tried to explain Trump’s apparent lead over Biden, writing that “the unusual composition of the Trump-Biden coalitions in this survey suggests it is likely an outlier.”
The poll results also come after a particularly blundering week for Biden, who butchered a speech he gave to the Congressional Black Caucus on Saturday evening.

Trump appears to be heading for a third Republican nomination for president
Biden first mispronounced rapper LL Cool J’s name before calling the artist “boy,” a term widely believed to be derogatory within the black community.
Trump appears to be on a smooth path to the Republican nomination. He is favored by 54 percent of Republicans, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has fallen from being favored by 25 percent of Republicans to just 15 percent since May.
The man who was once thought to be the only figure in the Republican Party who could defeat Trump has fallen 47 percentage points behind him, according to a recent Fox poll.
Despite the fact that 91 crimes have been committed in four indictments, Trump’s figures in the polls are not budging. In the WaPo survey, 53 percent of respondents said he is held accountable under the law just like anyone else, but 40 percent — including three-quarters of Republicans — say he is being unfairly victimized.
When asked a similar question about President Biden regarding the recently launched impeachment inquiry led by Republicans in the House of Representatives, 58 percent of respondents said he is being held fairly accountable. Thirty-two percent say he has been unfairly targeted by political opponents.
The current resident of the Oval Officer is also having problems with his policy file. Biden has been touting his signature economic plan, “Bidenomics,” much in recent weeks. But his earned approval rating for his handling of the economy has fallen to 30 percent – the lowest level during his presidency.
According to the poll, about 75 percent of Americans believe the economy is “not that good” or “bad.” As many as 87 percent of Americans say gas and energy prices are “not that good” or “bad.” And 91 percent of people say the same about food prices.
A large number of respondents (44 percent) said they are not doing as well financially as they were before Biden took office, while 39 percent said they are in about the same position and 15 percent said they are better off.
