Three Reasons Biden's Approval Rating is Falling - TLDR News

Biden's approval ratings have significantly dropped due to three main factors: COVID-19, economic challenges, and foreign policy blunders. The Delta variant and vaccine hesitancy have hurt his pandemic response ratings. Economic issues like inflation and slowed job growth have also impacted his approval. Foreign policy missteps, particularly the Afghanistan withdrawal, have further decreased public confidence. Despite these challenges, historical trends suggest that such slumps are common, and Biden has time to recover before the midterms and next presidential election.
