Only 33% of US voters approve of President Joe Biden. This is stated in the New York Times/Siena College poll..

Worried about the economy and inflation, as well as doubts about Biden's chosen vector of the country's movement, worsened the mood of Americans..

Unemployment and the economy are the most important problems facing the country, according to 20 percent of voters. Urgent concerns also include inflation, which is rising at its fastest rate in a decade..

More than three-quarters of voters polled think the United States is heading in the wrong direction, poll says. This trend is observed in all corners of the country, in all age and racial groups.. If earlier Biden's support was expectedly low only among Republicans, now his rating has dipped significantly among supporters of various political parties..

Only 70% of Democrats support the president's activity, and 64% of voters of this political force would prefer to see another Democratic presidential candidate in 2024. Most of these are among voters under 30 years old - 94%.

This is a relatively low figure for the president, especially ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, when Biden must rally Democrats in the election to keep control of Congress..

Only 13 percent of American voters believe the nation is on the right track - the lowest number in Times polls since the financial crisis more than a decade ago.

Nearly one in eight Democrats said they want a new face in top office, and one in ten says Biden isn't progressive enough. 33% see Biden's age as an impediment to the upcoming election. A small number of respondents also expressed doubts about Biden's ability to win and the sharpness of his mind..

Only 6% of voters are satisfied with the state of the American economy, 93% instead called it unsatisfactory.

Times/Siena nationwide telephone survey conducted July 5-7. 849 respondents surveyed. The error is 4.1%.

In May, the results of a survey on Americans' assessment of Joe Biden's activities were just as disappointing for him..
