A new poll conducted by YouGov and CBS kept with months-long polling trends in finding that a large majority of voters are dissatisfied with President Biden’s handling of the economy.
The latest poll found that 55 percent of registered voters believe that prices will increase under Biden’s policies, while just 34 percent of respondents believe they will go up under Trump. In fact, a plurality of voters believe that Trump’s policies will benefit them economically, as 44 percent of respondents believe that prices will “go down” if Trump returns to the White House.
Just 17 percent of registered voters think prices will “go down” if Biden wins re-election, the poll found. An additional 27 percent believe that Biden’s policies will have “no effect,” while 22 percent of registered voters believe the same of Trump.
When asked to grade the overall state of the economy, 57 percent of respondents said things are going “fairly bad” or “very bad,” with 30 percent choosing the latter. Just nine percent of registered voters think the economy is “very good.”
49 percent of voters believe the economy is either slowing but not in a recession, or in a recession outright, while an additional 26 percent believe it is “holding steady.” Just six percent described the economy as “booming” while 18 percent believe it is growing, but not booming.
President Biden’s job approval remained underwater in the latest survey, with 45 percent of respondents describing his job performance as “poor.” 22 percent graded Biden’s performance as “fair,” while just 10 percent gave him “excellent” marks.
The new poll also found that illegal immigration is a rising concern among likely voters. When asked to best describe the situation on the southern border — which has led to more than 8 million illegal alien entries under President Biden — 45 percent of respondents described the border issue as a “crisis.”
30 percent of respondents said the situation was serious but not a crisis, while 18 percent described it as a somewhat serious problem. Only 7 percent said the border is not an issue.
