President Biden and first lady Jill Biden are frustrated by the president’s low approval ratings, with complaints dating back months.
Biden expressed concern about his economic message and his team’s efforts to improve his poll numbers.
“After pardoning a pair of turkeys, an annual White House tradition, Biden delivered some stern words for the small group assembled: His poll numbers were unacceptably low and he wanted to know what his team and his campaign were doing about it,” The Washington Post wrote.

“He complained that his economic message had done little to move the ball, even as the economy was growing and unemployment was falling, according to people familiar with his comments, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation.”
“We do not discuss the President’s private conversations one way or the other,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said.
“The President and first lady meet regularly with their senior team for updates and to review plans.”
Recent polls show him trailing former president Donald Trump, with low approval marks from voters.
Biden’s allies are accustomed to concerns about his declining popularity, with some Democrats feeling uncertain about how to support his campaign.
“I feel the same way I did in 2015 and 2016,” Rep. Debbie Dingell said, admitting that the “country is angry.”
“In the minds of many Democrats, we campaigned on a set of ideas in 2020, and we went into office and executed on them,” Conor Lamb said. “We feel like we have a good story to tell, but that doesn’t seem to be registering yet.”
