Biden Approval Rating: Majority of Americans Disapprove

FiveThirtyEight's Poll of Polls

Do Americans Approve of Joe Biden?

An updated calculation of the president's approval rating, accounting for each poll's recency, sample size, methodology, and house effects, shows that 56.2% of Americans disapprove of Joe Biden's job performance, while only 36% approve. This is a significant decline from the 53% approval rating he held in January.

The four-day poll, which closed on Monday, showed that just 36% of Americans approve of Biden's job performance as president, down from 41% in the previous poll. This is the lowest approval rating of his presidency.

The chart below tracks President Joe Biden's approval and disapproval ratings across polls. It includes all national-level results on this question which meet FiveThirtyEight's criteria for inclusion.

The 05/29/24 Poll of Polls is an average of the following polls: Quinnipiac University (05/24-05/29), Monmouth University (05/25-05/29), Marist College (05/26-05/29), and Emerson College (05/27-05/29).

The results of this poll suggest that Biden's approval rating is continuing to decline. This is likely due to a number of factors, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the economic crisis, and the war in Ukraine.
