Biden Sees Big Bounce In Approval Rate

A new NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist poll finds President Biden’s overall approval rate jumped to 47%, up 8 points from last month.

“Presidents don’t generally see much, if any bounce, out of a State of the Union address. Since 1978, there had only been six times when a president saw an approval rating improve 4 points or more following State of the Union addresses, according to the pollsters. Three of those bounces were for former President Bill Clinton.”

Said pollster Lee Miringoff: “This is an unusual bounce. It gets him back to where he was pre-Afghanistan.”
