A majority of Americans disapprove of President Joe Biden’s job performance, as most also deem his first year a “failure,” a CNN poll released Thursday revealed.

“Nearly 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of how Joe Biden is handling his presidency, with most of that group saying there’s literally nothing Biden has done since taking office that they approve of,” CNN detailed.

The latest survey, taken January 10-February 6, 2022, shows 58 percent disapproving of Biden’s job performance, compared to 41 percent who approve. That reflects a seven-point increase in the number who disapproved from the last survey, taken in December 2021.

The past surveys, fielded in March, April, August, September, October, November, and December, show Biden’s approval sinking and his disapproval continually rising.

From March 2021 to February 2022, Biden’s approval has tanked ten percentage points. In that same time frame, Biden’s disapproval rose 17 percentage points, as his disapproval stood at 41 percent in March 2021.

Currently, 41 percent of Americans “strongly” disapprove of Biden, compared to 15 percent who “strongly” approve.

Further, Biden’s approval among independents is underwater, as 64 percent disapprove, compared to 36 percent who approve. As likely predicted, Biden’s disapproval is staggeringly high among Republicans: 91 percent disapprove. While Biden enjoys an 83 percent approval from Democrats, that still represents an 11-point drop from the 94 percent of Democrats who approved last summer.

According to CNN, “Some of the shift in Biden’s numbers comes from a change in Americans’ partisan tilt: Republicans and Democrats were about at parity in the new poll, with fewer identifying as Democrats than in other recent CNN polling.”

According to the outlet:

When those who disapproved of Biden’s overall performance were asked to name a single thing he’d done that they did approved of, 56% had nothing positive to say. “I’m hard pressed to think of a single thing he has done that benefits the country,” wrote one survey respondent.
Of those who generally approved of Biden, a smaller 26% couldn’t find anything negative to say. “I totally believe that he has the best interests of the American [p]eople in mind,” wrote another respondent. “I think he understands the severity and importance of his job and is doing the best he can.”

The survey also asked respondents to rate Biden’s first year in office as a success or failure. A majority, 57 percent, said it has been a “failure,” compared to 41 percent who deem it a “success.”

The public’s disapproval of Biden’s handling of the economy is contributing to these souring figures, as 62 percent disapprove, compared to 37 percent who approve. That reflects a drastic change, as a majority approved of his handling of the economy in September.

The survey coincides with devastating news for Biden from the Department of Labor, which found that consumer prices have “jumped by the most” in nearly 40 years, up 7.5 percent.

The poll, with 1,527 respondents, has a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percent.

CNN Poll: Americans Rank Biden’s Open Border Among Top Problems this Year

American adults say illegal immigration at the United States border under President Joe Biden is among the top problems facing the nation this year, a CNN poll reveals.

The poll, released on Thursday, reveals that Americans — including swing voters — consider securing the U.S. border the third most important problem that Congress and Biden should address this year.

The issue of illegal immigration at the border ranks behind reducing inflation and protecting voting rights for American citizens.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas agreed, in a closed-door meeting last month, that illegal immigration is “worse now than … ever.”

Among registered Republicans and self-described conservatives, illegal immigration at the border is the top priority that Congress and Biden must address. Democrats and those who “lean Democrat,” in contrast, consider illegal immigration their last concern.

White working class Americans, those without a college degree, consider illegal immigration at the border and reducing inflation the two biggest problems facing the nation at the moment.

Non-college-educated Americans, of all races, see illegal immigration as the second highest priority just behind reducing inflation.

The poll is only the latest that suggests Americans, by and large, take issue with Biden’s massive expansion of Catch and Release at the border, a policy that has released hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens into the U.S. interior and incentivized nearly two million border crossers last year alone.

Most of those released into the U.S. interior can apply for work permits.

Biden’s operation includes using American taxpayer money to bus and fly border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities — with destinations including Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, South Carolina, and other states.

The Catch and Release initiative has been paired with Biden’s gutting of interior immigration enforcement via so-called “sanctuary country” orders that ban federal immigration agents from arresting and deporting most of the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens.

Most recent data published by Breitbart News shows that Biden cut deportations of illegal aliens by more than 85 percent in his first eight months as president. Compared to 2019, Biden has cut deportations by nearly 90 percent.

The CNN poll was conducted from January 10 to Feburary 8, 2022, and surveyed more than 1,500 American adults. The margin of error is +/- 3.3 percentage points.
