As President Joe Biden gears up for his reelection campaign, the economy remains a critical issue for American voters with just 33% of them approving of his handling of the economy. According to a recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, only 24% believe that national economic conditions are in good shape. High inflation, a difficult housing market and concerns about potential debt default are likely contributors to this stat. At the same time, opinion on gun policy and immigration also paints a bleak picture for the president, with only 31% approving of his performance on these hot button issues. Democrats themselves are divided in their approval of his handling of immigration and gun policy, with only about half in support.

Despite these challenges, some voters continue to support the president. John Billman, 79, of Chapel Hill in North Carolina, believes that Biden does not get enough credit for passing the $1 trillion infrastructure bill and the $280 billion CHIPS Act. These bills have been aimed at boosting the U.S. semiconductor industry and maintaining historically low unemployment rates.

The border crisis is another area where Biden falls short for many Americans. Independent voters, typically Republican voters but those who voted for Biden in 2020, along with staunch Republicans such as Vought, have seen the number of immigrants crossing over illegally spike. During the 2022 budget year alone, there was a record 2.38 million apprehensions at the southern border -- a concerning figure for all. Border Patrol agents have since returned to pre-pandemic immigration laws that impose stricter penalties on those who enter the U.S. without permission. While frustrating, voters like Vought note that they would still vote for the Democrat again if Trump wins the Republican nomination.
