US President Joe Biden’s approval rating rose three points this week, rebounding from the previous week when it was equal to his administration’s lowest rating, to 39%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed Tuesday.
The two-day national survey found that 55% of Americans disapproved of Biden’s performance.
Biden’s approval rating has been below 50% since August 2021, a possible alarm that the Democratic Party is on track to lose control of at least one of the Houses of Congress in November.
Biden’s popularity this year, rising inflation, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine helped drive fuel prices, and supply chains are still hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Last week, Biden’s approval rating hit 36%, the lowest point for his presidency in May.
But on Friday, Biden received an economic report that showed strong growth in US jobs last month and the unemployment rate remained at 3.6%.
Approval within his own party rose from 69% to 74% this week. Only 12% of Republicans have endorsed his performance since he took office.
