Both US 2024 Presidential Candidates from Joe Biden to Donald Trump did more harm than good on key issues, that what Americans generally think.
But the two candidates have different weak spots. For Biden, it's widespread unhappiness on two issues: the economy and immigration. Trump, meanwhile, faces an electorate where substantial shares think he harmed the country on a range of issues.
A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that more than half of U.S. adults think Biden's presidency has hurt the country on cost of living and immigration, while nearly half think Trump's presidency hurt the country on voting rights and election security, relations with foreign countries, abortion laws and climate change.

"Considering the price of gas, the price of groceries, the economy - I did very well during those four years," Christina Elliott, 60, a Republican from Texas, said of the Trump presidency. "I didn't have to worry about filling up my tank or losing half of my paycheck to the grocery store."
Elliott wasn't too keen on Trump's handling of abortion and said that when it comes to the former president's rhetoric, "He just needs to learn how to be tactful and shut his mouth."
"But other than that, like I said, I did very well during the Trump years," she added.
When asked which president did more to help people like them, roughly one-third say Donald Trump and about one-quarter say Joe Biden. Yet 30% of adults said neither Biden nor Trump benefitted them. It's another data point reflecting an electorate that has been largely disappointed with this year's general election choices, generating little enthusiasm among key parts of the Biden and Trump political coalitions.
