Just 11 percent strongly approve of Biden's handling of immigration, which likely represents the very floor of the president's support.
"Forty-two" is plainly not the president's lucky number in this poll, because that is the percentage of respondents who strongly disapprove of Biden's handling of immigration.
Speaking of the economy, Biden's handling of this subject area drew a slightly higher "Strongly disapprove" rating than his handling of immigration.
Given the parlous state of the American economy, with inflation rising faster than wages, stocks in or nearing a bear market, and the national average price of gasoline nearing $5 per gallon, the 13 percent strong approval that Biden received on the economy must reflect the sentiments of those who long for the days of the Carter administration.
In any event, the economy was the only subject area in which Biden received a larger percentage of respondents who "Strongly disapproved" of his handling than immigration.
Biden's score on immigration and the economy is even more significant given the fact that, as noted, the president's overall approval is 42 percent, and that he is "Just" 13 percent in the red overall with American voters.
There is a lack of consensus about how much the president can do to improve the economy, but Biden - as president and head of the executive branch - has nearly total control over immigration.
