Nearly two-thirds of registered voters consider Joe Biden’s presidency to be a failure so far, with Donald Trump continuing to hold a comfortable lead in the race for the White House, a CNN poll said.
The poll conducted by SSRS and released Sunday found that 49% of registered voters backed Trump over Biden’s 43% in a head-to-head matchup, the network reported.
Biden’s number was at 45% as recently as January.
The poll also found that 61% of registered voters who were questioned considered Biden’s presidency so far a failure, compared with 57% in January, while only 39% said it had been successful, a dip over the 41% approval from voters at the start of the year, the outlet said.
“Republicans now are more unified around the idea that Trump’s presidency was a success than Democrats are that Biden’s has been one,” the news network said.
“Overall, 92% of Republicans call Trump’s time in office a success while just 73% of Democrats say Biden’s has been a success so far. Among independents, 51% say Trump’s presidency was successful while only 37% see Biden’s as a success,” the report said.
