As Biden’s approval ratings slip, students criticize administration for rebuilding border wall and support for Israel

During a speaker event at Northern Arizona University with Vice President Kamala Harris, NAU student Jonathan Otero grilled the Biden Administration for continuing work on the border wall and its support of Israel

“This administration has continued to deport children and their families while building a wall,” Otero said. said. “Children continue to die at the wall because of this country’s inhumane policies, such as the crimes committed and funded against those in Palestine.”

Jonathan Otero is not the only American liberal who is losing faith in the Biden administration.

According to a recent October 26 Gallup poll, Biden’s approval ratings have plummeted to 37%. This is a personal minimum for the administration, with a low rating of 4 points compared to 41% last September.

Biden’s approval rating among Democrats has dropped from 84% to 75% in the past month alone. According to Gallup, this is the worst reading Biden has ever gotten from his own party.

The Biden Administration announcement resuming work on the border wall was also unpleasant shock to many Democrats, like Biden publicly declared during his campaign that “There will not be another foot of wall built [in] my administration”.

The administration first announced plans to accelerate “barrier and road construction in the vicinity of the international land border in Starr County, Texas” on October 5, 2023.

Students and faculty at Northern Arizona University appear to share a common lack of enthusiasm for the Biden Administration, as Jonathan Otero’s remarks to Vice President Harris were met with a round of cheers and applause.

According to the Daily Caller, Harris told the students that the administration has been trying to create legislation to create a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and said that “Republicans in Congress have not picked up on that on purpose.”

Harris then defended Israel, noting that Israel is a strong ally with the right to self-defense, but that the administration was working with its Israeli counterparts to prevent any human rights violations.

Gallup cites this recent decline in Biden’s approval ratings as a direct effect of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

According to Gallup, “Biden pledged US ‘strong and unwavering’ support for Israel, but Biden has faced criticism from some in his own party for aligning too much with Israel and not doing enough for the Palestinians “.
