A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds President Biden’s standing with Americans has improved slightly over the past two months, but he remains in negative territory in most assessments of his performance in office and Republicans hold substantial advantages over Democrats on key economic indicators that are shaping the midterm election year.
With a 42% approval rating overall, Biden gets low marks on his handling of the economy and inflation and Republicans are significantly more trusted than Democrats on both measures.
Biden’s worst ratings come on the dominant issue of inflation, with 68% saying they disapprove compared with 28% who give him positive marks.
