WASHINGTON – US President Joe Biden’s public approval rating held steady at 40 per cent in early July, close to the lowest levels of his presidency, as economic worries continued to trouble Americans, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll this week.
The largest number of respondents – 21 per cent – cited the economy as their top concern, followed by 15 per cent who cited crime or corruption. Respondents were evenly split in their views of the Supreme Court’s decision in June to strike down Mr Biden’s student loan forgiveness programme, with 49 per cent supporting the decision and 48 per cent opposed.
Some 70 per cent of respondents said they would support term limits for Supreme Court justices, including 85 per cent of Democrats and 56 per cent of Republicans.
