If there's one thing that's able to doom the future of an incumbent President - even more than scandal - it is Inflation. President Joe Biden's overall and economic approval numbers have reached the lowest levels of his presidency and fallen further than that of either of his two predecessors.  The CNBC All-America Economic Survey reported Biden's economic approval dropped to just 30%. Even more, CNBC said the economic outlook of survey respondents was the worst in the 15-year history of the survey.  Of the respondents, 52% believe the economy will get worse over the next year, while just 22% believe it will improve. The current readings exceed those at the height of the Great Financial Crisis of 2008 and the depths of the COVID pandemic. (Chart from CNBC.com)
