President Joe Biden Delivers Major Economic Speech in Chicago, Despite Low Approval Ratings for His Economic Leadership

President Joe Biden delivered a major economic speech in Chicago on Wednesday, touting his administration’s efforts to spark recovery after Republican policies had crushed America’s middle class. Biden spoke from the Old Post Office building, railing against the economic approach of his predecessor, President Donald Trump.

Biden’s remarks come as his approval figures have barely moved for the past year and a half, a source of concern for a president pursuing a second term on his ability to govern and focus on workers. He wants voters to connect local roads and bridge projects, factory construction and the rise of Bidenomics to his economic leadership.

However, a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research showed that only one in three U.S. adults approve of Biden’s economic leadership. This figure is even lower than his overall approval rating of 41%.

The poll results suggest that Biden may have a hard sell as he campaigns for a second term in 2024. Biden has proposed a number of economic policies, including raising the minimum wage, expanding access to affordable health care, and investing in infrastructure, which he believes will benefit the middle class.

It remains to be seen whether Biden’s economic policies will be successful in improving the economic situation of the middle class and increasing his approval ratings. In the meantime, Biden will continue to push his economic agenda and make the case for why his policies are the best way forward for the country.
