WASHINGTON, DC: In a quiet storm brewing within the corridors of the White House, President Joe Biden finds himself grappling with plummeting approval ratings and mounting concerns over his 2024 re-election prospects.

Reports from insiders suggest that the President has been privately expressing frustration and anger at his staff, painting a picture of a leader grappling with the weight of his office amid turmoil.

Frustration and anger

According to sources close to the administration, President Biden has been privately "seething" over his disastrous polling numbers, which have reached a new low of 37.4 percent, a figure significantly lower than his predecessors who failed to secure a second term.

The President's dissatisfaction reportedly surfaced following a lack of the typical polling bump after his recent State of the Union address, further exacerbating his concerns about his ability to secure another term in office.

The President's frustration is not a recent development, as reports of his discontent have been circulating since January, when aides informed him of a dip in polling numbers in key swing states such as Michigan and Georgia. These declines were attributed to his handling of international conflicts, notably the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Despite staunchly defending his decisions, the President's anger reportedly boiled over, leading to heated exchanges within the administration. "He began to shout and swear," NBC News reported, citing interviews with lawmakers, administration officials, and Biden allies.

White House Spokesman Andrew Bates responded by reaffirming the President's commitment to making "national security decisions based on the country's national security needs alone — no other factor."

However, allies of the President contend that his frustrations are intensifying, particularly regarding his travel choices and the perceived inability to effectively communicate his agenda to the American people.



 

According to NBC News, Biden's anger is well known, with past reports of him often yelling at staff and hurling obscenities.

"He's probably a little mad at himself for not being more forceful with the staff," one White House insider told the outlet, saying he often receives conflicting advice on how to publicly respond to the notion that he's too old to do the job.

Despite mounting criticism and internal discord, some supporters remain optimistic about the President's ability to convey his achievements to the American people. Former Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu emphasized the importance of highlighting initiatives such as clean energy projects and infrastructure improvements.

"There's a real story to tell," said Landrieu. "It's a winning message and it's about jobs, prosperity, and evolution. If that message can be communicated, I think the American people will respond."

Conversely, some Democrats, including Washington State Congressman Adam Smith, are growing impatient with what they perceive as a lack of decisive action from the President.

"Biden stood up in front of the whole world and said, 'I'm ready. I'm the guy who can take down Donald Trump," he said. "So, he goddamn well better do it. We don't have time for him to be worried about whether or not people are saying things right or the poll numbers are where they should be. I want focused energy and not defensive anger."

Internet reacts to Biden expressing frustration and anger

That said, social media was inundated with reactions after it emerged that Biden "began to shout and swear" over his dismal polling numbers.

"That's how losers react," one posted on X.

"…Like an old man sending soup back at the deli," another quipped.

"Let me guess… Biden is angry Americans are NOT believing him & the media that the border is closed & we’re richer than ever," someone else commented.

"Uncontrollable bursts of anger are a sign of dementia," another chimed in.



 



 



 



 

The looming possibility of a rematch between Biden and Trump in the 2024 election further complicates the political landscape. Despite reservations from the public, both candidates have secured the necessary delegates for their respective party nominations, setting the stage for a contentious showdown in November.

Polling data insights

Recent polling data suggests that President Biden's prospects against Trump have waned following his State of the Union address.

A post-State of the Union Harris X poll puts Biden's approval at a flat 37 percent and disapproval at 58 percent. However, among those surveyed who watched the State of the Union, 13 percent more approved of Biden's job as president compared to those who did not tune in.

Before the speech, Trump was up 45 percent to 44 percent against Biden in the poll taken in late January. While the latest poll taken March 8-11 is still within the polling margin of error and equates to a statistical tie, Trump is now at 46 percent to Biden's 44 percent in a hypothetical general election matchup.

Furthermore, a FiveThirtyEight average shows the number of Americans who approve of Biden's job as president has dipped to a new all-time low of 37.4 percent, while his disapproval rating stands at 55 percent.
