The survey asked whether or not Joe Biden has made the US a better place. The respondents were split on whether or not his presidency has made a difference.
Almost half of the respondents said Biden has made the country worse, while 34 percent said he has brought the nation better, 17 percent claimed that the country is not much different, and two percent were unsure.
Despite the majority of Democrats stating that Biden has made the country a better place, almost 20% of the respondents claimed that he has made it worse.
Independents and Republicans were more likely to believe that Biden has led the country in the wrong direction.
The results of the survey showed that a plurality of the respondents believe that the country’s best days are already behind it. Only 38 percent think the country will be on the best track in the future, while 20 percent are unsure.
Most of the groups are optimistic about the future, with 52 percent of Democrats stating that the best days of the country are yet to come. On the other hand, over half of Republicans and independents claimed that the best days of the country are already past.
Per Rasmussen Reports:
Despite the majority of voters over 40 stating that Biden has made the country worse, only 36% of those under 40 believe that he has made the country better. On the other hand, over half of voters under 40 believe that the country’s best days are yet to come.
Almost three-quarters of the respondents, including over two-thirds of white voters and 26% of black voters, think that Biden has made the country better. However, over forty percent of the respondents, including over four-fifths of minority voters, believe that he has led the nation in the wrong direction.
The survey was conducted by Rasmussen on December 14 and 15, 2022, among 900 likely voters in the U.S.
The survey was conducted just as the $1.7 trillion federal spending bill was released, which has caused a rift within the Republican Party. As conservative members of the House warned Senate Republicans not to support the legislation, which includes billions of dollars in pet projects and foreign aid.
An earlier version of the article misstated the figures for the aid to Ukraine and the amount of money allocated for the projects known as “earmarks.”
