A Quinnipiac University Poll released on Thursday found that a clear majority of Americans disapprove of President Joe Biden’s performance less than a year into his presidency, with those who disapprove outnumbering those who support him by 17 percent, and the difference is widening.
“Americans give President Biden a negative 36 – 53 percent job approval rating, while 10 percent did not offer an opinion,” Quinnipiac said in a press release about the poll.
Respondents were split 47% to 47% on whether the president cares about average Americans, but a majority, 51%, said he was not honest and 57% said he does not have good leadership skills.
Still, 57% approve of Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure package that he signed into law this week, and 58% approve of his $2 trillion social spending package that is stalled in Congress.
Biden is facing strong headwinds on the economy with 61% of people saying it is getting worse, compared to just 16% who say it is getting better. That comes as Americans face higher prices at the gas pump and annual inflation hovers around 6%.
In Thursday’s results, Republicans disapprove 94% to 4% of Biden, Democrats approve of him by 87% to 7% and independents disapprove of him by 56% to 29%, the release said.
Among all registered voters, Biden gets a negative 38% to 53% job approval rating with 9% not offering an opinion, the release added.
