Biden approval rating drops to new low, poll finds
Only 36% of Americans approve of Biden's job performance
Poll: Biden's approval rating has fallen to 36%, a new low since he took office.
The poll, conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that only 36% of Americans approve of Biden's job performance, down from 41% in January. The poll also found that 62% of Americans disapprove of Biden's job performance, up from 56% in January.
The poll was conducted from May 29-30, 2024, and included 1,008 adults. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.
Biden's approval rating has been declining since he took office in January 2021. His approval rating peaked at 57% in February 2021, but has been declining ever since. The poll found that Biden's approval rating is now at its lowest point since he took office.
The poll also found that Biden's approval rating is lower among certain demographic groups. For example, Biden's approval rating is only 29% among white Americans without a college degree. Biden's approval rating is also lower among Republicans and independents.
The poll's findings are consistent with other recent polls that have found Biden's approval rating to be low. A poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in May 2024 found that Biden's approval rating was 41%, while a poll conducted by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute in May 2024 found that Biden's approval rating was 38%.
Biden's low approval rating is likely due to a number of factors, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and the rising cost of living. Biden's approval rating is also likely being affected by the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
The poll's findings are a setback for Biden, who is facing an uphill battle for reelection in 2024. Biden will need to improve his approval rating if he wants to win reelection.
