A key finding of the two-day survey is that 41% of Americans approve of Mr. Biden’s performance in office, up from 39% a week earlier.
US President Joe Biden’s popularity rebounded somewhat this week, but remains comparatively low just six weeks before the November 8 midterm elections, an Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of the Reuters news agency and broadcast by the latter yesterday indicated. Tuesday.
A key finding of the two-day survey is that 41% of Americans approve of Mr. Biden’s performance in office, up from 39% a week earlier.
The Democratic president’s low approval ratings, which fell as low as 36% in May, June and July, are among the reasons his party is expected to lose control of the House of Representatives in November, although some analysts they believe that he has a chance of retaining that of the Senate.
Losing control of even one of the two chambers would spell paralysis in efforts to push Mr. Biden’s agenda through legislation. In the event that the Republicans win the majority in the House, they may also initiate various politically bloody investigations.
The US president took office amid the novel coronavirus pandemic and his term has been marked by the wounds of the global health crisis to the US economy and skyrocketing inflation.
Mr. Biden’s approval rating remains below 50% as of August 2021 and this year has approached, though not reached, the popularity levels of his predecessor, Republican Donald Trump, who had slumped to 33% in December 2017.
When asked what they consider the country’s most important problem, most decided it was the economy (four out of ten Republicans, a quarter of Democrats). For Republican supporters, the next most pressing issue is either immigration or crime. For Democrats (about one in eight) the second most important issue is the environment, or (for one in 10) the Supreme Court’s end of abortion rights nationwide in June, or crime.
The rolling national poll was conducted online, in the English language, among a representative sample of 1,004 adults, of whom 469 said they were Democratic supporters and 367 Republican supporters. The margin of statistical error is ±4%.
