The Washington Examiner’s Samantha-Jo Roth suggested that President Joe Biden’s poor polling numbers could mean he’s lost some of the voters he counted on in 2020.
Roth appeared on Fox News Live on Sunday to respond to the network’s latest poll, which found that 58% of respondents disapproved of Biden. In particular, Roth pointed to the “key demographics” the president has lost, according to this poll.
“You are seeing that the president is not polling as well [with] some of that electorate that he was able to clinch the last time around. We’re looking at weaknesses with African Americans, weaknesses with Hispanics,” Roth said. “Those are some key demographics that should certainly be warning signs for him.”
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has been able to increase his support among black voters by seven times since 2020. Some 28% of black voters support Trump over Biden, per this poll. Roth also pointed to criticisms surrounding Biden’s policy toward Israel and Gaza.

“That should’ve been a warning sign for the Biden administration, looking at those who are very unhappy with how he’s dealing with the situation in Gaza,” Roth said. “Will it be enough to get a bunch of Democrats to sit at home? Unclear at this point.”
A similar poll from the New York Times/Siena College found that 47% strongly disapprove of Biden, which is the highest the pollsters have found during his presidency. Only 18% of respondents believed they personally benefitted from Biden’s policies. Another 40% reported that Trump’s policies helped them personally.
