How Did Biden Get Elected If So Few In America Actually Trust Him?

As President Biden’s first year in office comes to an end, almost two out of every three Americans have suspicions and reservations about him — with 70 percent stating his policies have further hurt the economic crisis or had no effect, according to a new survey.

According to the CNN poll conducted by SSRS, 66 percent of Americans announced they doubted whether Biden was “a leader you can trust,” a number that contained 92 percent of Republicans, 75 percent of independents, and 36 percent of Democrats.

The poll further discovered that 45 percent of adults think the president’s policies have worsened the economy while just 30 percent say they have had a positive impact and 25 percent stated they had no impact at all.

When asked how they thought the president had handled the economy overall, 54 percent expressed disapproval – an increase of five percentage points from late summer and 12 percentage points from late April.
