You can lay these problems at the feet of Republicans
Looking down that list, yes for sure.
because Catholic Biden did everything he could right?
ignoring the threat is just as harmful as active engaging in the threat
I’m no mathematician but 12 is less than half of 29. One might more accurately frame this the exact opposite way.
Of 29 aspects of the country Gallup has tracked during Biden’s presidency, public satisfaction has declined in 12, while it has been steady in 12 and improved in five. As a result, in a reversal of the pattern seen before 2021, anemic (sub-33%) public satisfaction ratings of national conditions now outnumber strong (50%+) ones, and by a substantial margin.
That said, a lot of this is being driven by Republicans who are just throwing a temper tantrum because there’s a Democratic President, and a lot of this has to do with the fact that they’re comparing it to a survey that was taken right around and after January 6, so there were probably a lot of Dems in that survey who thought “wow, I’m so proud of my country for surviving that shit storm, now things are finally going to get better” and have since come down to the depressing reality that we’re still a really long way from neutralizing the threat Republicans pose to us.
100% accurate. Also, even that aside, asking people about their “satisfaction” or their mental picture of how things are going is only marginally newsworthy, given that so much of their mental picture is formed by news organizations as opposed to by direct knowledge of the reality
News organizations which often like to promote heavily slanted articles to artificially foster a skewed view of the world to achieve particular political goals

The questions were … seems to me … engineered in order to not get any key truth:

The political-leanings scores, down lower on the page, though, those are illuminating.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Public satisfaction with 12 aspects of life in the United States has declined during President Biden’s time in the White House, according to a new poll.
The Gallup poll found that Americans’ satisfaction in 12 out of 29 areas declined during Biden’s presidency.
Satisfaction with immigration levels, energy policies and gun laws or polices each dropped 11 percentage points in the same period.
Satisfaction with the amount Americans pay in federal taxes and the quality of medical care in the U.S. dropped by 9 points each.
Gallup noted that some areas where Americans’ satisfaction has remained steady include the overall quality of life, policies to reduce crime, security from terrorism and the availability of affordable health care.
The Gallup poll found Americans were more satisfied in 2024 with the position of Black Americans and other racial minority people, the size and power of the federal government, the state of race relations, how well the government system works and the moral and ethical climate.
