This isn’t great news for Joe Biden. Democrats are almost as unhappy with Biden’s border policies as the general public at large, according to the Pew Research Center.
More Republicans are inclined to call the situation at the border a «crisis,» but even Democrats call it a major problem.
The survey is brutal for Biden, although we should remember that disapproval of and refusing to vote for somebody are two different things.
Democrats disapprove of the U.S. government’s handling of migrant crossings at the southern border more now than at any other recorded point during Joe Biden’s presidency, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center.
Seventy-three percent of surveyed Democrats rate the government’s handling of the influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border as “somewhat bad” or “very bad,” according to the report — only 11 percentage points lower than Democrats’ disapproval ratings in 2019 during Donald Trump’s presidency.
The numbers from the report released Thursday mark a grim trend for Biden. Last year, Pew recorded that 62 percent of Democrats disapproved of the government’s handling of the border, up from 56 percent of Democrats disapproving in 2021. Pew does not track immigration attitudes every year.
