US President Joe Biden's popularity dropped to its lowest level ever since he took office early this year according to a new poll, RT reported on Friday.
Conducted by Reuters and Ipsos, the poll highlighted that US citizens have showed heavy criticism for Biden's responses to various situations such as his strategy of competing against the pandemic.
The survey took place on September 15, and 16 and it showed that 50% of adult participants were not convinced by the President's performance in the office, while only 44% liked his performance.
On the other hand, about 6% of the adult performance couldn't evaluate Biden's office performance.
Regarding his response to the pandemic, less than 50% of the participants approved Biden's policies, while, 46% disapproved his measures.
The President's popularity started to sink down in middle August due to the recent chaotic developments in US-Afghanistan relationship, and the death of dozens of US officers who served in Afghanistan in a terrorist Kabul Airport attack last month.
In addition, his popularity were negatively impacted by his latest strict restrictive strategy against COVID-19, which was described by the Republicans as an overacting response toward the pandemic.
Last week, Biden announced adopting a new strategy to combat the emergence of the COVID-19 Delta variant in a speech at the White House.
He started his speech, saying: “Many of us are frustrated with the nearly 80 million Americans who are still not vaccinated.” He continued: “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
Therefore, one of the kicking-off procedures in Biden’s new plan is vaccinating all federal employees and contractors in the whole arms of the states.
Biden’s strategy also includes launching a vaccination program to give people booster vaccine shots that will be imposed by September 20.
