Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>President Biden, who is celebrating a full year in office next week, has faced a number of major crises over the past year, including migrants at the southern border, inflation levels not seen in decades, and new, more transmissible strains of COVID-19.<\/b><\/p>\n

A majority of Americans believe the Biden administration has not focused enough on the economy and inflation, and 50% say the president’s first year in office has left them “frustrated,” a fresh CBS\/YouGov poll released Sunday showed.<\/p>\n

According to the poll, 58% feel the Biden White House has not paid enough attention to the economy, and 65% say the same about the administration’s handling of inflation.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, 35% believe Biden has focused on the economy appropriately, and just 28% believe he has focused adequately on inflation. When asked how they feel about the Biden presidency in general, 50% answer “frustrated,” 49% say “disappointed,” 40% say “nervous,” and only a quarter of those asked (25%) say “calm” and “satisfied.”<\/p>\n

More to the president’s first year, the poll shows that his approval rating has remained stuck in the 40s, sliding from a high of 62% in March to 44% in November, where it is currently. It showed that, except for former President Donald Trump, who received 37% approval in 2018, he had a lower approval rating after his first year in office than his six predecessors.<\/p>\n

In 2002, former President George W. Bush had the greatest approval rating, 82%, according to CBS. However, while 55% of Americans approve of Biden’s personal demeanor, 62% disapprove of his handling of the economy, and 70% disapprove of his handling of inflation. CBS News polling noted that dating back to 1978, Biden’s rating is behind Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan by a bit, and Jimmy Carter.<\/p>\n

As for young people, while six out of ten voters under 30 voted for Biden in 2020, according to CBS, his favorable rating among Americans under 30 has plunged from 70% in February to only 42% currently, more than double the loss among other age groups.<\/b><\/p>\n

The fact that 39% of those polled believe Biden and the Democrats are focusing on issues they “don’t care about” indeed adds to their dissatisfaction. When asked what would boost their impression of Biden, 63% said bringing inflation under control, and 24% said passing his Build Back Better spending proposal. However, 76% think that passing Build Back Better would not affect their opinion of him, and 37% say that managing inflation would not.<\/p>\n

A total of 69% of Americans blame Biden’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic on ambiguous information, 61% blame the president for advocating vaccine mandates, 47% think he was unprepared for the Omicron variant, and 43% feel the number of daily cases is not reducing fast enough.<\/p>\n

All in all, Biden’s approval rating for handling COVID-19 is at an all-time low, and when asked why they do not think he is doing a good job, 57% now said the information regarding the outbreak is confusing, while back in October the number was just 47%. And few people believe it is due to a lack of vaccines.<\/p>\n

Responses to confusion about pandemic-related information and guidelines are particularly interesting in light of the fact that in a recent interview, the head of the CDC, Rochelle Walensky, admitted that correcting the credibility of her agency and the recommendations it issues can be “hard.”<\/p>\n

The poll is a nationally representative sample of 2,094 adult residents in the US, who were interviewed between January 12 and 14. The margin of error is 2.5 points.[3 image]<\/p>\n
