For months on end, Joe Biden's approval rating has been falling far beyond rates that indicate Republicans or even Republican-inclined Independents are the only ones who disapprove of current leadership.

Judging from Biden's national support rating, which is below 40%, at least some of the people expressing uneasiness are Democrats as well.

The wariness that more Democrats have towards Biden is apparent in how leftists are saying they don't want Biden to run for re-election.

Reportedly, this stands as a source of irritation for the president; however, his leadership is the underlying culprit for why Democrats have these complaints.

Now, growing numbers of people within Biden's party continue showing they're not too thrilled with him.

Understanding Democratic frustrations with Biden

Democratic strategists have been very vocal in expressing their qualms with Biden's leadership. One main issue deals with a proverbial "house on fire" that the administration doesn't appear to be solving.

The various policies which contributed to the "house on fire" include baby formula shortages, inflation, gas prices, a terrible 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, etc.

Each of these mess-ups leaves a stain on Democrats. These are likewise prime reasons for why Democrats remain projected to lose this year's midterms.

Biden's lack of support from Independent voters also isn't helping him; neither is the reality that he only carries an approval rating higher than 50% in two states.

Today, 68% of Independents do not approve of Biden's job performance. Much earlier in his presidency, however, the president carried a decent approval rating amongst Independents who helped get him into the White House.

Likewise, Democrats counted on Biden being able to pass the Build Back Better Act. The reality of this legislation going down in flames didn't contribute to positive morale amongst the left.

More calls to action for Biden

Democratic strategists today want the president to significantly alter courses. Right now, Biden appears out of touch with his own base that is screaming for change.

One left-wing operative even said the president is being overly "administrative" during a time when "leadership" and "clarity" remain absent.

Biden, on the other hand, seems content with the path he's on.
