Last week, President Biden gave a not-so-great State of the Union address. Aside from Democrats trying to spin the speech, most people did not seem to enjoy it. Critics have called it a politically driven, partisan campaign speech.
Biden came off as angry and, at times, vindictive. He failed to address the many problems our country is facing, while pretending that inflation doesn’t continue to hammer the economy.
ABC News polled voters after Biden gave his divisive speech. They asked what Americans thought about each candidate and top issues. If Biden thought his speech was going to help him, he was sorely mistaken.
From The Post Millennial:
On Sunday, a new poll showed that more Americans trust former President Donald Trump to lead the country than President Joe Biden when it comes to key issues…Trump received a 49 percent favorable rating on the economy, compared to Biden’s 37 percent. On inflation, 45 percent approved of Donald Trump, and 31 percent for Biden. On crime, Trump was more favorable 41 to 35 percent, and on immigration, the former president got 45 percent favorable, to Biden’s 29 percent.
A new poll from ABC/Ipsos revealed that Trump is beating Biden on the most important issues facing voters this election. Forty-nine percent of voters chose Trump’s economy over Biden, who got only 37%.
Trump was leading on inflation, a major concern for voters, 45-31. Another major issue, crime, Trump was beating Biden 41-35. When it came to the State of the Union, 29% of those asked said Biden did “better than expected,” with only 12% saying he did worse.
But a larger group, 35%, didn’t even bother to watch. Meaning, Biden’s “big” speech failed to do what he hoped, because most Americans did not want to hear him.
Biden is also losing support over the war in Israel. Progressive, who have turned on Israel, has vowed to turn on Biden in November. Meanwhile, only 30% of all voters say he was doing a good job.
Over the last two months, Trump has beaten Biden in 10 out of 12 polls. It is unknown if this trend will continue or if Biden can find a way to save his campaign.
Key Takeaways:
- A new ABC poll shows Trump winning on top issues over Biden.
- Thirty percent of voters trusted Trump, while 33 percent trusted Biden.
- This poll was released after Biden’s SOTU, which has been heavily criticized by viewers.
