Biden Administration is the "top problem" for citizens

Twenty-one percent of adults are most concerned about the government, followed by inflation (15%), immigration (11%) and the economy (10%).

The Biden Administration is the top problem facing the nation, according to a new Gallup poll. Only 41% of Americans approved President Joe Biden's job performance and 21% supported the work being done by Congress.

The poll revealed that 21% of adults view the government and its poor leadership as the country's main problem, followed by inflation (15%). In third place is immigration (11%) and fourth place the economy (10%):

In the latest Gallup poll, covering the bumpy start to the 118th Congress, more Americans point to the government as the country's biggest problem. With prices remaining high, inflation remains the second most cited problem (15%), and amid heightened tensions over the southern U.S. border, illegal immigration rose three percentage points to 11%. Mentions of the overall economy fell six points to 10%, the lowest reading in a year.

Republicans, Democrats and Independents agree on almost everything

When broken down by political tendency, the government and its leadership were the main issue for members of both parties. Twenty-four percent of GOP supporters and Republican-leaning independents identified the current Administration as the country's biggest problem, and Democrats and independents agreed (18%).

Inflation and immigration tied for second place among Republicans and independents, with 18% each. The economy was the third most concerning issue for GOP supporters (11%).

Within the Democratic ranks, inflation also ranks second among the top problems (11%). In contrast, unlike Republicans, the economy and race relations are tied (9%) which-with a tie-would be the third most important issue facing the country for this group of voters.

Americans in general are concerned about the nation's current economic conditions. Only 2% described the current conditions as "excellent," while 15% said they were "good." Forty-five percent said they were "poor" and 38% described them as "fair.” Despite this data, 64% of adults said it was a good time to find a quality job in the country.
