President Biden's approval rating has remained stagnant near record lows, with just 40 percent of respondents approving of his performance as president, according to a recent survey released on Tuesday. The Reuters/Ipsos three-day opinion poll, which closed on Sunday, garnered responses from 1,017 adults, with a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.
The latest poll indicates a marginal increase of one percentage point from November, where Biden's approval rating stood at 39 percent. This comes after a modest increase last month, when the President's approval rating reached 45 percent in a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll.
In the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll, which examined respondents' views on Biden's handling of the economy, it was found that 44 percent approved, representing a slight increase from 41 percent in October.
Despite the slight upticks in approval ratings over the past few months, President Biden has struggled to gain widespread support, with his approval rating consistently below 50 percent since August 2021. In fact, his approval rating plummeted to its lowest level of 36 percent in the early months of 2022.
The lingering disapproval may be indicative of ongoing challenges faced by the Biden administration, including concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and supply chain disruptions. These factors may be influencing public perception of the President's ability to effectively address key issues.
As Biden continues to grapple with low approval ratings, it remains to be seen how the administration will navigate these challenges moving forward. With public sentiment playing a crucial role in shaping political landscapes, the coming months will be crucial for gauging the success of Biden's policies and initiatives.
However, it's important to note that approval ratings are not static and can fluctuate over time. It will be interesting to observe how Biden's approval ratings evolve in the months ahead, particularly as economic and public health conditions continue to evolve.
