[W:199] What Americans Think about President Biden

Doug64 · May 11, 2023

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 69% of Likely U.S. voters believe accusations of foreign influence peddling by Biden and his family are a serious scandal, including 52% who say it’s a Very Serious scandal. Twenty-six percent (26%) don’t think the accusations are a serious scandal, including 15% who say it’s Not At All Serious. New revelations from congressional investigators about foreign payments to President Joe Biden’s family are a serious scandal, according to a majority of voters. Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters believe it is likely that Joe Biden personally profited from such a deal, including 44% who think it’s Very Likely. Twenty-nine percent (29%) don’t think it’s likely the president profited from a “pay-for-play scheme,” including 15% who say it’s Not At All Likely.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for Trump in a 2024 election rematch, while 39% would vote for Biden. Another 12% say they’d vote for some other candidate. A majority (52%) of voters believe Biden is a worse president than most recent presidents, compared to 32% who think Biden is better than most recent presidents. Fifteen percent (15%) say Biden is about the same as most recent presidents. Revelations in a congressional investigation of alleged influence peddling by Biden and his family may have increased public perception of Biden as corrupt. Forty-five percent (45%) of voters believe the Biden administration is more corrupt than most recent administrations, while 37% think the Biden administration is less corrupt. Fourteen percent (14%) say the level of corruption is about the same as most recent administrations.

A bad week for Trump back then, worse than Biden's, but not bad enough for Biden to catch up. If Trump hadn't shot himself in the foot so badly after the 2020 election, Biden would be toast instead of struggling.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 58% of Likely U.S. Voters think it is likely the president was involved in Hunter’s foreign business deals, including 44% who believe it’s Very Likely he was involved. Thirty-three percent (33%) say it’s not likely Biden was involved in his son’s business deals, including 19% who think it is Not At All Likely. Another 10% are not sure. Last week, the president shouted “no, I wasn’t … no,” when asked about a 2017 text message from his son to Chinese businessman Henry Zhao in which Hunter demanded payment, saying he was “sitting here with my father.” However, 82% of Republicans, 38% of Democrats and 56% of voters not affiliated with either major party believe it’s at least somewhat likely Biden was involved in Hunter’s foreign business.

I doubt this is exactly news to anyone but ...

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 25% of Likely U.S. Voters are Very Confident that Biden is physically and mentally up to the job of being President of the United States. Another 19% say they are Somewhat Confident in Biden’s capability, while 12% are Not Very Confident and 42% are Not At All Confident. Confidence has declined slightly since March, when 30% were Very Confident in Biden’s ability to do the job. CNN recently reported that some top Democratic campaign donors say Biden “won’t actually be running for reelection.” If reelected in 2024, Biden would be 86 when his second term ends, and 55% of voters believe that’s too old to be president. Thirty percent don’t think 86 is too old to be president, while another 15% are not sure. In March, 59% said 86 is too old to be president.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 37% of Likely U.S. Voters rate Biden good or excellent on his handling of the economy – down from 42% in April – while a majority (51%) give him a poor rating. The White House has made “Bidenomics” the centerpiece of its message, with Biden boasting about workforce participation statistics last week in Philadelphia: “And, folks, it’s not an accident; it’s my economic plan in action. It’s Bidenomics.” However, only 29% of voters believe the U.S. economy has gotten better in the past year, while 56% think it’s gotten worse, and 13% say the economy has stayed about the same. Ninety-three percent (93%) believe economic issues will be important in the 2024 presidential election, including 71% who expect the economy to be Very Important.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 38% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against Biden. That’s slightly down from 42% in May. Forty-seven percent (47%) now oppose impeachment, while another 14% are undecided. Hunter Biden’s former business partner testified to Congress this week about Joe Biden’s involvement in their deals with foreign companies when the elder Biden was vice president. Fifty-two percent (52%) of voters believe it is likely that, since becoming president, Joe Biden has committed high crimes and misdemeanors that would justify Congress impeaching him, including 37% who say it’s Very Likely. Forty-three percent (43%) don’t think it is likely Biden has committed impeachable offenses as president, including 28% who say it’s Not At All Likely.

So here's the second of my threads on Rasmussen polls (the first is What Americans Think about Politics, with the background of where these are coming from).

Rasmussen is, so far as I know, the only polling company that still polls on the president's job approval every weekday (except holidays). Rasmussen actually uses a three-day rolling average, with 500 Likely Voters polled daily--so each day's number is from 1,500 Likely Voters over the last three days. Still, every day is a bit too fluid for me, I prefer longer periods. So here's Biden's average numbers over the past week, month, and since he was elected. Then I toss in Trump's and Obama's numbers from the same point in their own presidencies, for comparison.
