President Joe Biden and his team are reportedly troubled by his declining popularity in the polls, according to the recent news. Former President Donald Trump is leading in national polls and crucial swing states, creating concerns for Biden’s reelection prospects. Complicating matters, Biden’s support among key demographics such as his 2020 coalition and Catholics has declined.
In a recent poll by Pew Research, it was revealed that Trump holds a significant advantage over Biden among Catholic voters. Specifically, Trump leads Biden among white Catholics by 55-43 percent and even more pronounced among regular churchgoers. Additionally, Trump’s support extends to Hispanic Catholics, with 49 percent supporting him compared to 47 percent for Biden.

The poll also highlighted Biden’s support among black Protestants and those without a religious affiliation, showing a stark contrast with Trump’s strong backing among white evangelicals, regardless of their church attendance frequency.
Furthermore, the survey indicated that a substantial portion of voters view Biden unfavorably as president, with 50 percent considering him to be “poor” or “terrible.” This sentiment is particularly pronounced among white evangelicals, a group that overwhelmingly supports Trump and disapproves of Biden’s presidency.
The release of this poll comes amid growing controversy surrounding Biden’s alignment with Catholic Church teachings, particularly on issues like abortion and gender ideology. Biden’s inconsistent stance on abortion and endorsement of gender-affirming care have drawn criticism from both conservative and liberal Catholic leaders, including Pope Francis and prominent figures in Washington, D.C.
Recent incidents, such as Biden’s participation in a pro-abortion event and his crossing himself while speaking in favor of abortion, have intensified the scrutiny of his adherence to Catholic beliefs. Even those within the Catholic community have labeled Biden as a “cafeteria Catholic,” suggesting selective adherence to the faith’s principles.
Overall, the poll’s findings underscore the challenging road ahead for Biden as he grapples with declining support among critical voter groups and continued scrutiny of his alignment with Catholic teachings.
