Fifty-two percent of those who identify as non-White disapproved of Biden's performance, while 44% said they approved.

Biden is seeing the criticism of several concerns troubling Americans this holiday season, according to Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute of Public Opinion. Those suspicions include increasing prices as inflation nears a 40-year high, the Omicron variant threatening to compound the latest surge of coronavirus cases, and Biden’s legislative agenda stalling in Congress.

Build Back Better, Biden’s signature proposal, was given a significant hit Sunday. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., noting concerns about the national debt and rising inflation, said he would not vote for it, which will kill the bill’s chances to pass in the evenly divided Senate.

Biden’s current level of support stands in stark contrast to what it was about six months ago when new COVID cases had fallen greatly and there was more positiveness about vaccine durability and the pandemic turning a corner. The number who support Biden has fallen around 10 points since then.

“There’s lots of uncertainty out there,” Miringoff said. “He’s being hit for lack of leadership. He’s being hit for the fatigue of the pandemic and concerns about inflation.”

Objection to the President stretches across most demographic groups, with his level of disapproval topping 50 percent among White and non-White voters, people living in cities and in rural America, and voters in every age range except those over 74 years old.

“The independents were the major difference” in this poll, Miringoff said. “The one good thing [for Biden] about losing independents and not doing as well with Democrats is those are groups you can win back.”
