GEORGE, WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE
COMING UP.
>> GINGER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
TO WASHINGTON NOW AND A NEW ABC
NEWS/WASHINGTON POST POLL WHICH
SIGNALS TROUBLE FOR PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE STARTING
WITH CHIEF WHITE HOUSE
CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE.
GOOD MORNING, MARY.
>> Reporter: GOOD MORNING,
GEORGE.
OFFICIALS ARE DOWNPLAYING THESE
LATEST NUMBERS BUT ARE CAUSE FOR
CONCERN FOR DEMOCRATS.
PRESIDENT BIDEN IS MAKING THE
ECONOMIC RECOVERY THE CORNER
STONE OF HIS RE-ELECTION
CAMPAIGN BUT OUR ABC
NEWS/WASHINGTON POST POLL SHOWS
AMERICANS JUST AREN'T FEELING
IT.
DESPITE EASING INFLATION AN LOW
UNEMPLOYMENT, AMERICANS REALLY
AREN'T BUYING THE POSITIVE
BIDENOMICS MESSAGE.
JUST 37% OF AMERICANS APPROVE OF
HIS HANDLING OF THE ECONOMY.
44% SAY THEY ARE NOT ADDS WELL
OFF NOW AS THEY WERE WHEN BIDEN
TOOK OFFICE.
ON ANOTHER HOT BUTTON ISSUE,
IMMIGRATION.
THE NUMBERS SHOW ONLY 23% OF
AMERICANS APPROVE OF THE
PRESIDENT'S HANDSLING OF THAT
SITUATION.
ALL OF THIS IS LEADING TO ADY
MALL APPROVAL RATING FOR THE
PRESIDENT, NOW 19 POINTS UNDER
WATER.
WHEN IT COMES TO BIDEN HIMSELF,
WE KNOW THIS.
HIS AGE IS A REAL POLITICAL
PROBLEM FOR HIM.
RIGHT NOW 3/4 OF AMERICANS, 74%,
SAY HE IS TOO OLD TO EFFECTIVELY
SERVE A SECOND TERM.
MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS SAY
SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD BE THE
NOMINEE.
THOUGH THE PARTY IS DEEPLY
DIVIDED ON WHO THAT SOMEONE ELSE
SHOULD BE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS WHEN IT
COMES TO THE HEAD TO HEAD
MATCHUP WITH DONALD TRUMP.
OUR POLL IS AN OUTLIER AND DOES
DIFFER FROM OTHER RECENT
POLLING.
OUR POLL SHOWS TRUMP WITH A NINE
POINT LEAD OVER PRESIDENT BIDEN,
WHILE AVERAGE POLLING STILL HAS
BIDEN UP BY ROUGHLY TWO POINTS.
GET THIS.
WHEN WE ASK PEOPLE IF THEY THINK
DONALD TRUMP SHOULD BE
CONSTITUTIONALLY DISQUALIFIED
FROM SERVING ANOTHER TERM, EVEN
THOUGH THEY SAID YES, TRUMP
SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO RUN, 18%
OF THEM SAID THEY WOULD STILL
VOTE FOR HIM.
GEORGE, THE BOTTOM LINE HERE,
THIS IS JUST ONE POLL.
WE ARE STILL A WAYS OUT FROM THE
