President Biden of the United States faces many challenges such as the spread of the new coronavirus infection and record price increases, but the approval rating is sluggish, and it will be a public referee for the administration, and the mid-term elections will be held in the fall. The focus is on refraining, responding to challenges, showing results, and regaining support.
Since taking office in January last year, President Biden has been working on the promotion of measures against the new coronavirus and the realization of the infrastructure investment bill for the signboard policy.
However, in Japan, infection with a new mutant virus, Omicron strain, is spreading, and record price increases are hitting people's lives directly.
In addition, another large expenditure bill for the signboard policy is in a state where it is uncertain that it will be passed due to the conflict between the ruling party and the Democratic Party.
Furthermore, although we are in agreement with China, which continues to have conflicts over human rights issues, in the continuation of dialogue, we have not made any concrete progress toward stabilizing relations.
In the face of various challenges, President Biden's approval rating has been sluggish, and according to the political information site "Real Clear Politics", he "supports" the average of various polls as of 30th last month. The percentage of respondents was 43.3%, the lowest level since taking office.
In November, a mid-term election of the federal parliament, which will be the referee for the administration of the government, is scheduled to be held. The focus is on how we can show the results and regain the support of the people.
