Why low approval Biden “not change anything”? A: all popular; doesn’t have anything on high rent

On 11/10/2022, during press briefing, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “The President said yesterday, “I’m not going to change anything in a fundamental way.” But the President’s approval ratings are still low, with an overwhelming majority of voters in exit polls said the country is headed in the wrong direction, especially on the economy. So is — how is the White House sort of squaring those two things? Is — is there no change needed, I guess, in terms of satisfying those voters who are saying that they think the country is headed in a wrong direction?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, we think that — well, let me step back for a second. What the President was talking about then — he wasn’t going to renegotiate — renegotiate things that have already passed, right? You think about the Inflation Reduction Act … Republicans were very clear: They wanted to repeal that. They wanted to take away the Inflation Reduction Act. And so that’s what the President was talking about, making sure that we do not take away the things that — the things that we have been able to accomplish … Look, I know you’re talking about the President’s poll. But the thing about it is: When you look at these pieces of legislation, when you look at the work that we have done, when you look at the issues that the President has worked on, they’re all popular … You think about inflation: Yes, the American people are feeling that every day, but the President has also worked on these issues. And those are the things he’s not going to stop on. Those are things he’s not going to pull back on. Trying to lower gas prices as another example of the things that he’s done.

On 11/9/2022, Joe Biden delivered remarks on the 2022 midterms and called on Preapproved List of 10 reporters. “The overwhelming majority of the American people support my economic agenda… I’m confident these policies are working,” said Biden. A reporter asked Joe Biden about the abysmal exit polls showing 75% of Americans are unhappy with the state of the union. 7 in 10 voters are unhappy with the state of the nation and largely negative on Joe Biden, according to CNN exit polls. A reporter asked Joe Biden,” You mentioned that Americans are frustrated. And, in fact, 75 percent of voters say the country is heading in the wrong direction, despite the results of last night. What in the next two years do you intend to do differently to change people’s opinion of the direction of the country, particularly as you contemplate a run for President in 2024?”

Biden: Nothing, because they’re just finding out what we’re doing. The more they know about what we’re doing, the more support there is … And we have more money in the — in the pot now already — already out there — we voted for — than the entire money we spent on Amtrak to begin with.

Jean-Pierre says she doesn’t “have anything” on what President Joe Biden is doing on skyrocketing rent prices. “Most of the increase that we saw in inflation last month was due to rising cost for shelter…What is the administration doing to contain the rampant run-up in rents?” Jean-Pierre: “I don’t have anything right now to share with you.”

Jean-Pierre says she can’t “get into deep specifics” about China’s “misconception” about the United States. “What do you think are some misconception…that China has about the U.S.?” Karine Jean-Pierre: “I don’t want to get into deep specifics…the president really think it’s important to have that face-to-face, leader-to-leader conversation.”
