Foreign media: Biden has become one of the most unpopular presidents in the United States

According to the British "Guardian" website reported on January 18, US President Joe Biden ended the first year of his term at a particularly bleak moment. He has promised to restore national strength and normalcy. But much of his domestic agenda has been shelved on Capitol Hill, with resistance coming from members of the party. The spread of COVID-19 is once again out of control: daily infections have surged to record levels, and hospitalizations have exceeded at any time since the outbreak began. The government's order requiring large corporations to organize vaccinations or nucleic acid testing was rejected by the Supreme Court. Inflation is at a nearly 40-year high. Diplomatic negotiations so far have also failed to pull Russia back from the brink of war with Ukraine.

Biden won more votes in the election than any presidential candidate in U.S. history. Now, just 12 months later, he is one of the most unpopular presidents in the United States.

The report noted that for several months, Biden's approval rating has been hovering at a low-to-mid level of about 40%, with an average approval rating of 42%. A poll data released last week showed its approval rating fell to a terrible 33 percent, which the White House called an "outlier."

Bill Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, said: "Whenever the president disappoints people's hopes, it causes problems. ”

According to the Spanish "Pioneer" website reported on January 16, if viewed separately, Biden's first year in office was lackluster. The problem arises when comparing his progress to his failures and the expectations he has made at home and in the world. From this perspective, Biden's report card is not good. The president has only 10 months to make a difficult comeback to avoid or mitigate the loss of control of both houses in the midterm elections. A major setback for democrats in the upcoming midterm elections on November 8 could prematurely make Biden a retiring president or a "lame duck" president in his first term.
