Former President Obama’s senior adviser David Axelrod said a recent Wall Street Journal poll showing President Biden’s approval rating hitting a new low is “very, very dark” for Biden’s reelection campaign. Axelrod said he was most alarmed by the numbers regarding voters’ perception of Biden’s and Trump’s policies when president. About 23 percent of voters said Biden’s policies have helped them, while 49 percent said the same of Trump’s policies. About 53 percent said Biden’s policies hurt them personally, and 37 percent said the same for Trump. Days later, Axelrod said he thinks Biden has a “50-50 shot” of winning reelection and that the president thinks he is going to “cheat nature.”The Biden reelection campaign did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment.
