The poll after Congress gave the green light to the infrastructure plan wanted by the president
The go-ahead from Congress to the Infrastructure plan comes at a time when Americans’ approval rating of Joe Biden is so low that, if we voted today, Donald Trump would beat him by two points. This is what emerges from a survey carried out at national level by Emerson College in Boston. Fifty percent of Americans reject Biden, only 41 approve of his work, five points less than in September. The decline is, above all, among African Americans: the approval rating fell by twenty points, from 72 to 52 percent. But it is the confrontation with Trump that gives Democrats cause for concern: the former president would be two points ahead, 45 to 43 percent, in a hypothetical head-to-head for the White House.
In the suburbs Biden prevails by one point, in the rural ones Trump dominates with 32 points, 62 against 30 percent of the Democrat, while in urban areas the president is ahead, 52 to 36. When asked who would you vote in the midterm elections by 2022, 49 percent pointed to conservatives, 42 percent to progressives. 62 percent of respondents think Congress has done less than expected. The average of the polls calculated by the political site FiveThirtyEight does not differ from the result of the Bostonian survey. The average points to 42.9 Biden’s approval rate as of November 5, a few hours before the House vote, which took place overnight. On January 25, after the first week in the White House, Biden was at 55 percent, a fairly constant figure, with slight fluctuations, until June, when the pandemic situation worsened. The collapse in popularity took place in the days of the American retreat from Kabul and the attack on the international airport. «The consensus is in constant decline – confirmed Mark Penn, co-director of polls on behalf of Harvard / Caps / Harris – in practice the president is supported only by his electoral base. The decline was accelerated by the perception of uncertainty in managing economic issues ». The lowest point of reliability, Biden recorded on Afghanistan: only 33 percent of Americans, according to the Harvard poll, approved his course of action.
