The Gallup website reported that the approval rating of US President Joe Biden remains at 37%, marking his lowest personal level during his presidency. The approval rate for his focus on healthcare stands at 40%, while support for his Ukrainian policy is only at 38%.

Additionally, less than 32% approve of his handling of the economy, foreign affairs, and the Gaza war, as well as his relationship with "Israel".

The survey was conducted between November 1 and 21, representing the third time Biden's overall approval rating has reached 37%. His job rating has not risen above 44% since August 2022, with an average of 40% this year.

The approval of Biden's foreign policy stands at 32%, with 66% opposing the country's direction. Approval for his handling of the current situation in the Middle East is at 32%, while 64% oppose it.

Biden accelerates his undoing as he commits genocide in Gaza

Days ago, The Washington Post reported, citing top advisers in the White House, that they are aware that the current conflict in the Middle East has damaged America's global standing, and the longer it lasts, the more political and diplomatic damage it inflicts on Biden.

The American site The Intercept mentioned that the interests of the United States will be harmed by lifting all restrictions on Israel's access to US weapons stockpiles.

The billions of dollars the US has been providing the Israeli occupation with are clearly not enough for its genocidal actions, since the request is for unknown weapons depots in "Israel" that the Pentagon developed for use in regional crises.

It is worth noting that earlier, The New York Times reported that more than 400 US officials signed a letter of protest against President Joe Biden's policy towards Israel and his "blind support" for its war on Gaza.

The letter details that “the overwhelming majority of Americans support a cease-fire” and do not wish to see their military "drawn into another costly and senseless war in the Middle East."
