Biden approval rating drops to 43%, lowest of his presidency

WASHINGTON DC, USA – US President Joe Biden’s public approval rating fell to the lowest level of his presidency this week as Americans appeared exhausted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic toll, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.

The national poll, conducted January 19 to 20, found that 43% of US adults approved of Biden’s performance in office, while 52% disapproved and the rest were not sure. The prior week’s poll had put Biden at a 45% approval rating and 50% disapproval. After holding above 50% in his first months in office, Biden’s popularity began dropping in mid-August 2021 as COVID-19 deaths surged across the country and theThe ongoing slump in Biden’s popularity is ringing alarm bells in his party, with Democrats worried dissatisfaction could cost them their congressional majorities in November 8 elections. If Republicans take control of either the US House of Representatives or Senate, Biden’s legislative agenda could be doomed.

In a rare news conference on Wednesday, January 20, Biden acknowledged Americans’ frustration at the close of his first year in office. But he vowed to make progress fighting considerable challenges from the pandemic and inflation, which hit a near 40-year high in December as the health crisis snarled global supply chains.At the same point in Donald Trump’s presidency, about 37% of Americans approved of his performance in office, while 59% disapproved.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll is conducted online in English throughout the United States. The latest poll gathered responses from a total of 1,004 adults, including 453 Democrats and 365 Republicans. It has a credibility interval – a measure of precision – of 4 percentage points. – Rappler.com
