The much-ballyhooed meeting between President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping was supposed to display the American president’s competence and strength.
The Biden administration and other Democrats hoped the meeting would show voters — and ultimately the world — that Biden could still hold his own on the world stage and in the presence of the nation’s geopolitical foe. Instead, people weren’t buying it, and a plurality of voters still rated Biden poorly on dealing with China.
THE CHALLENGES MATT GAETZ FACES AFTER LEADING HOUSE INTO UNCERTAINTY
A recent Rasmussen poll found that 45% of “likely U.S. voters” gave Biden a poor rating “for his handling of issues related to China.” Conversely, the poll shows that just 35% of voters gave Biden a “good or excellent rating” on China.
It’s the latest ominous sign for the blundering administration that highlights the election vulnerability of the Democratic president. Throughout his term, people have continuously doubted Biden’s ability to lead. The skepticism has only worsened less than a year before the next presidential election.
Of particular interest was the poll’s poor rating of Biden by Democrats.
While the majority of them rated Biden “as doing a good or excellent job of handling China,” 41% of Democrats felt otherwise, according to Rasmussen. That is a significant portion of Democrat voters who are unsatisfied with their president. Biden’s handling of China and many other issues has caused panic among DNC political pundits and strategists, with several suggesting Biden should not be the nominee.

And while it is unlikely Biden will be replaced on the ticket, what, if anything, will happen between now and the 2024 presidential election remains to be seen.
Moreover, it will be interesting to see how this might impact future relations between the United States and the communist country. Will China exploit these apparent public opinion deficiencies for its own gain in international relations? Will other countries? And, if it does, will U.S. voters hold the Biden administration accountable come election time?
