<p>An overwhelming majority of Americans think the country is not doing well, according to a new poll.</p>
<p>According to a <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/22088874/cnn-poll-biden-approval-rating.pdf">CNN/SSRS poll</a> of more than 1400 adults, conducted between June 13-July 13, just over 2 in 10 Americans, 21%, think things in the country are going well. An even smaller number of Americans, just 18%, said that economic conditions were good. Moreover, most Americans disapprove of President Joe Biden&#8217;s handling of the economy, and think that Biden has been focused on all the wrong issues.</p>
<p>Asked &#8220;how well are things going in the country today?,&#8221; just 21% of poll respondents said that things were going well, compared to 79% who said things were going badly. Just 1% of Americans said things were going &#8220;very well&#8221;; 20% said things were going &#8220;fairly well.&#8221; On the opposite end of the spectrum, 34% said things were going &#8220;very badly,&#8221; while 44% said they were going &#8220;pretty badly.&#8221;</p>
<p>Americans were even more negative about the state of the economy. Just 18% said the current economic conditions in the country were &#8220;good&#8221;; only about 1% of respondents said the economy was &#8220;very good,&#8221; while about 16% said it was &#8220;somewhat good.&#8221; Meanwhile, a massive 82% of Americans said the economy was &#8220;poor&#8221;; respondents were evenly split, 41%-41%, between &#8220;somewhat poor&#8221; and &#8220;very poor.&#8221; On top of that, when asked &#8220;do you think the economy is in a recession, or not,&#8221; nearly two thirds of Americans, 64%, responded &#8220;yes.&#8221; Just 35% responded &#8220;no.&#8221;</p>
<p>When asked what the biggest economic issue for their family was, fully three-quarters of Americans said it was expenses and the cost of living. Inflation and rising costs, specifically, accounted for 38% of Americans&#8217; concerns, while 29% said gas and energy prices were the biggest issue. Another 18% said the cost of food was their biggest problem. The general issues of &#8220;personal financial concerns&#8221; and &#8220;income/employment&#8221; were the biggest concern for 12% and 10% of Americans, respectively. No other issue, in general or specific, was cited by more than 10% of respondents.</p>
<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s approval ratings were also dragged down by economic issues, the poll found. Biden&#8217;s overall approval rating stood at just 38%, while 62% disapproved. Just 12% approved strongly of Biden; 26% said they approved moderately. Meanwhile, 43% disapproved strongly, while 19% disapproved moderately. Biden&#8217;s ratings on economic issues even worse: on the economy overall, Biden had just a 30% approval rating, with 69% disapproval; on the specific issue of inflation, Biden scored a dismal 25% approval, with 74% disapproval.</p>
<p>Asked whether they thought Biden has had the right priorities or not, just 31% of Americans said Biden &#8220;has had the right priorities,&#8221; while 68% said Biden &#8220;hasn&#8217;t paid enough attention to the country&#8217;s most important problems.&#8221;</p>
<p>In terms of personal approval ratings, just 36% of Americans had a favorable opinion of Biden, while 54% had an unfavorable opinion. Even fewer respondents had a favorable opinion of Vice President Kamala Harris: just 32% had a favorable opinion of Harris, while 49% had an unfavorable opinion. Even First Lady Jill Biden earned just a 34% favorability rating, but her ratings were still a net positive: just 29% of respondents had an unfavorable opinion of her, while 28% had no opinion.</p>
<p>The CNN poll comes after a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-economic-approval-is-now-double-digits-lower-than-trumps-worst-rating">CNBC poll</a> released Monday found similar approval ratings for Biden on the economy. Just 30% of respondents in CNBC’s All-America Economic Survey approved of Biden&#8217;s handling of the economy, as the Daily Wire reported. CNN&#8217;s data analyst Harry Enten remarked last week that Biden&#8217;s approval ratings were in the doldrums because &#8220;inflation is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-worst-overall-cnn-analyst-says-biden-is-suffering-because-inflation-is-eating-his-presidency-alive">eating his presidency alive</a>.&#8221;</p>
