Biden's approval ratings have been on a downward trend since he took office, and now they have fallen to a record low. According to the latest survey, Biden's approval rating is 43%, while Trump leads with 47%. In addition, only about 37 percent of respondents agreed with Biden's performance in office, the lowest number since he took office. So why does Biden's approval rating continue to decline?
Biden's declining approval rating can be said to be all due to Biden. First, the U.S. is currently facing a severe inflation problem and the economic situation is struggling, and Biden** has not been able to effectively address this problem, leaving many Americans disappointed. Second, border security has always been an important issue for the United States, but Biden's promises in this regard have been difficult to keep, leading to questions about his capabilities. In addition, Biden has also shown a bias towards Israel on the issue of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which has also made some Americans lose trust in him. Coupled with the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Americans are more inclined to believe that Trump is better suited to lead the country than Biden. However, in the face of such bad news, Biden also failed to react wisely.
Trump has reportedly pledged to scrap the Biden-led Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF). The framework, led by Biden**, aims to unite 13 countries (including Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and the Philippines) to strengthen cooperation in the economic field to achieve the goal of "isolating" China. Trump's remarks have sparked much speculation about whether he is siding with China or sacrificing America's own interests against other countries
In fact, in terms of "containing China", Trump and Biden have the same position. During his tenure, Trump has taken a number of repressive measures against China, which is not much different from the current Biden**. The only difference is that Trump is more inclined to pursue an "America First" policy. Therefore, his claim that the "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework" will be abolished is likely to protect the interests of the United States, not to show favor to China. From this perspective, Trump's commitment to China is not simple. At present, Biden is deeply dissatisfied in the United States on China policy, and Trump is on the opposite side of Biden, which is very beneficial to his voters. Because of this, Trump's approval rating is on the rise, surpassing Biden for the first time.
Mr. Trump's remarks seem to imply that he is using China as a "springboard" to gain his greatest advantage. No matter how fierce the rivalry between Trump and Biden is, we should not have illusions. Trump has promised to abolish the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) when he takes office, but we cannot ignore that even if Trump is elected, it does not mean that he will be friendly to China. Trump's move is only to gain more support among domestic voters and to defend America's own interests. Therefore, we should keep a clear head and not be fooled by appearances, and Trump and Biden are on the same position on containing China.
Biden's approval ratings continue to decline, mainly because of his misperformance in economic issues, border security, and handling of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Trump's promise to scrap the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework reflects some of his policy differences with Biden, but it does not mean that he is friendly to China on China. Whether it's Trump or Biden, they are on the side of containing China. Therefore, we should see the situation clearly, not be confused by the superficial performances, and rationally treat the differences in the China policies of the two predecessors. In the current complex international situation, we need to have an objective and clear understanding of the positions and interests of all countries in order to make wise judgments and decisions.
