President Joe Biden’s standing with key Democratic constituencies has slipped as conflicts from within his party approach block his political agenda and depress enthusiasm with voters.

Polls from Pew Research Center, Quinnipiac University, and Morning Consult show Biden’s support ratings with black, Hispanic, and female voters majorly declining in recent months, which could suggest difficulties for Democrats in next year’s midterm elections and gubernatorial races if the trend remains.

“Young people, Latinos, African Americans — they’re all voters that could come back to Democrats. They all voted for Biden by large margins in 2020,” said Democratic pollster Brad Bannon.

Black voters, especially, supported Biden in securing crucial votes in early primary states, connecting his nomination at the top of the ticket and supporting him in the general election.

Bannon said these voters would probably return as Democrats and Biden “take strong, aggressive action to revitalize the economy.”

To obtain Democrats’ assistance, he said Biden would need to lead through his major legislative plans. But members of the Democratic Party are separated, with centrists and progressives trillions of dollars apart on a suggested social spending package. Pending an arrangement on the Build Back Better plan, some House Democrats have advanced to vote down the bipartisan infrastructure bill despite supporting it.

On Friday, Biden said he remained behind progressives resisting to vote for one package before cutting a deal on the other, telling Democratic lawmakers his bipartisan infrastructure bill “ain’t going to happen until we reach an agreement on the next piece of legislation.”

“Let’s try to figure out what we are for in reconciliation,” Biden said during a visit to Capitol Hill, capping a week of fraught negotiations over the two packages. “It doesn’t matter if it is six minutes, six days, or six weeks. We are going to get it done."

Biden’s support ratings with voters dropped this summer as the delta coronavirus variant spread across the country, stalling economic recovery. Voters have also criticized his administration for the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal. Additionally, people have reviewed his fitness and capability to serve as president, being the old president ever inaugurated into office at 78 years of age.

Two-thirds of black voters said they back how Biden is handling his job, down from 85% in July. His approval rating with Hispanic voters fell 16 percentage points to 56% and 14 percentage points among Asian Americans to 54%. His approval rating with women has dropped 12 percentage points to 45%.

Furthermore, some black voters said they dislike Biden’s recent coronavirus vaccine mandate.
