Americans trust the Republican Party over the Democrats to handle inflation, by 19%; the economy more generally, by 14%; and crime, by 12%, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.
Trust in the Republicans to handle crime is its highest — by a single point — in ABC/Post results back 32 years; trust on the economy, just slightly off its high two months ago.
On the Democratic side, President Joe Biden’s job approval as president remains underwater, but with a 5-point gain since February, aided by better ratings for handling the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Still, 52% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s performance overall, versus 42% who approve.
Moreover, with inflation its highest in 40 years, Biden’s numbers are dramatically bad: 68% of Americans disapprove of his handling of the crisis.
