Staff Reports
The recent polls reveal a decline in President Joe Biden's approval ratings, hitting a low of 40%, according to NBC News and Fox News. The disapproval is particularly evident in his handling of foreign policy and the Israel-Hamas war. Among voters aged 18 to 34, a substantial 70% express dissatisfaction.
The October 7 terrorist attack in Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis, has intensified scrutiny of Biden's approach. Hamas' indiscriminate targeting of civilians, including heinous acts such as rape, torture, and kidnapping, has stirred controversy over Israel's right to defend itself.
Biden's foreign policy decisions, including aid to Gaza and funding for Iran despite their support for Hamas, have negatively impacted his presidency. Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt notes Biden is at a uniquely low point and must find a way to win back disaffected Democrats and younger voters.

Concerns arise from some Democrats' demand to condition aid to Israel, considering withholding aid from a key ally in the Middle East. Biden's threat to veto aid to Israel unless tied to funding Ukraine raises questions about his priorities and allegiance.
Looking toward the 2024 election, it's crucial to monitor whether Biden will yield to pressure from anti-Zionist, leftist groups leveraging the poll results to call for a ceasefire. Groups like IfNotNow, with far-left donors, raise caution about radical voices influencing Biden's decision-making.
In conclusion, Biden's declining approval ratings, especially regarding the Israel-Hamas war, signal consequences of his foreign policy actions. Whether he can regain the support of disaffected voters remains uncertain, with recent decisions on aid to Gaza and Iran raising doubts about his chances. The American people must question whether Biden's allegiance lies with allies or appeasing radical, anti-Zionist groups.
