The Reality of Biden’s Fading Youth Support: Examining His Declining Approval Ratings and Other Observations

From the left: Why Biden’s Losing the Young

Jeremy Etelson at The Hill explains that disapproval of Biden among young voters is widespread, citing reasons beyond American support for Israel’s war against Hamas. Issues such as rent prices remaining high above pre-pandemic levels, homelessness reaching its highest level since 2006, a border crisis with potentially 10 million undocumented immigrants entering the country, and inflation remaining at historic highs despite legislative actions like the Inflation Reduction Act are contributing to the negative sentiment. The future looks bleak for middle-class and low-income Americans, and younger voters are concerned about various crises, not just one issue.

From the right: A White House in Denial

Byron York from The Washington Examiner observes that the White House and its media allies are in full defensive mode over recent videos of President Joe Biden, particularly the Juneteenth concert where Biden appeared motionless. York contends that there is something wrong with the president, and the White House will not be able to deny it if such incidents continue to occur.

Eye on the Economy: Joe’s ‘Job Growth’ Baloney

E.J. Antoni from The Washington Times criticizes the Biden administration for overestimating job growth by almost 800,000 in 2023. He points out that the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly reports have significant errors, and the more accurate quarterly census reveals that about 1 in 4 jobs that were supposedly added last year never existed.

Conservative: Trump’s Appeal to Black Voters

Jason L. Riley from The Wall Street Journal argues that Democrats are struggling with black voters because Trump can run on his economic record, unlike Biden. Riley highlights the rising median household income for black households and criticizes progressive mayors for diverting resources from black communities to support illegal immigrants.

Media watch: The Times’ ‘Resistance’ Reveal

Dan McLaughlin from National Review criticizes The New York Times for suggesting that the resistance to a new Trump administration has already started, indicating a lack of confidence in Biden’s administration. McLaughlin highlights the left’s inability for self-awareness and mocks the idea of “democracy-proofing” institutions against the will of the voters.
