Six in 10 Americans feel less safe than they did when Joe Biden entered office and 14% think he is doing a good job tackling crime, Daily Mail poll reveals

 Daily Mail Online

"Last month, the U.S. also reached the grim milestone of 500 mass shootings in a year for the third time.

"Of 1,000 likely voters polled, just one in 10 said they feel more safe walking the streets since Biden was inaugurated in January 2021.

"Just 28 percent of independent voters - a group crucial for Biden to win in 2024 - gave the White House good marks for dealing with crime.

"The results will pile the pressure on Biden, who faces dire approval ratings and constant questions about his age.

"His gamble to convince the public that he has turned the economy around with 'Bidenomics' also doesn't seem to be paying off.

"Democrats are reportedly trying to pressure the White House to change its message as the U.S. gradually recover from historic inflation.

"The president has also kept up his war on firearms with the creation of a federal gun violence prevention office.

"But his moves are struggling to appeal to a skeptical American public who think violence is becoming more of a problem on their doorstgep. 

'There is no doubt that Donald Trump energizes the Democratic base to turn out in support of Joe Biden,' Scarlett Maguire, Director at J,L, Partners said

" 'However, it would be a mistake for the incumbent president to think he can rely on Trump’s divisiveness and extreme unpopularity with part of the electorate to deliver a second term in office.

" 'With doubts about Biden’s leadership continuing to grow, 2024 may well turn into a referendum on his presidential record." . . .
