President Joe Biden’s economic approval ratings have hit an all time low as his administration continues to push the claim that “Bidenomics” is working, according to a poll released by Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) on Monday.
Approximately 56% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s economic policies as opposed to 24% who approve, a swift drop from the reported 50%-31% in September, according to IBD. The low ratings underscore the problems straining the U.S. economy as inflation continues to rise while wages are by and large failing to keep pace.

Inflation has risen from approximately 3.2% in July to 3.7% in August, well above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. The Biden administration has added $5 trillion to the current national debt of $33 trillion, roughly double of the $2.48 trillion increase during former President Donald Trump’s tenure.
The IBD poll was conducted with a survey size of 1,378 participants from Sept. 27-29.
“Bidenomics is working: Unemployment is near historic lows, inflation has fallen about two-thirds, wages are rising and job satisfaction is at a record high,” a White House spokesperson previously claimed to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The midterms and recent special elections showed Americans favor the president’s vision for growing the economy from the middle out and the bottom up over congressional Republicans’ trickle-down economics.”
Only 16% of Americans say their wages are keeping pace with inflation, and 61% living paycheck-to-paycheck, according to IBD. The IBD/TIPP financial stress index jumped 2.4 points to 70.5, higher than the 69.8 reported in April 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic; any reading above 50 indicates rising stress.
Investors have turned from generally positive to negative on their approval of Biden, going from 56% approval in September to 45% in October, according to the survey.
Approval of Biden’s overall performance as president has dropped from 41% in September to 36% in October; Biden’s approval ratings sat at 55% on Jan. 21, 2021, his first day in office, according to IBD and Reuters.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
