As President Biden returns from an overseas trip marking one year since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, voters give their highest marks to date for his handling of that situation – but his rating on the most important issue to them, the economy, remains dismal. …
Fully 78% say the economy is in only fair or poor condition, mostly unchanged for the last year. That’s how the economy remains the top issue, with 36% saying it’s the most important problem facing the country — and it’s the number one choice among Democrats, Republicans, and independents. While that 36% is down from 42% in December, it still far outdistances the next highest priorities of immigration/border security (13%), climate (10%), and guns (9%).
Biden’s worst job ratings continue to be on inflation, with 31% approving. And that’s a high point — approval went as low as 23% in June 2022. His ratings are also well underwater on the economy (36% approve, 62% disapprove), immigration (36-61%), guns (36-60%), and the opioid epidemic (36-56%). CONTINUED
