A new Pew Research poll finds President Joe Biden’s approval rate at 59% to 39%.

Biden got particularly high marks with regard to managing and distributing coronavirus vaccines. Seventy-two percent of Americans said his administration had done this well, including 55% of Republicans and independents who lean toward the GOP.

Biden Nears 100-Day Mark With Strong Approval, Positive Rating for Vaccine Rollout

Share of Americans viewing illegal immigration as a 'very big' problem grows

Joe Biden approaches the 100-day mark of his presidency with a relatively strong job approval rating and the public continuing to express positive views of the coronavirus aid package passed by Congress last month. Moreover, nearly three-quarters of Americans (72%) say the Biden administration has done an excellent or good job managing the manufacture and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to Americans.

Currently, 59% approve of the way Biden is handling his job as president, while 39% disapprove. Biden’s job approval rating has increased modestly from 54% in March. Biden’s job approval is comparable to several of his predecessors – including Barack Obama and George H. W. Bush – and much higher than Donald Trump’s in April 2017.

Views of Biden and his administration highlight several stark contrasts with opinions of his predecessor. Far more Americans say they like the way Biden conducts himself as president (46%) than say they don’t (27%), while another 27% have mixed feelings about his conduct. Similarly, 44% say he has changed the tone of political debate for the better, while 29% say he has made the tone of debate worse (27% say he has not changed it much).

On both questions, there are sizable differences in views of Biden and Trump. Last year, just 15% said they liked the way Trump conducted himself as president, which was little changed from telephone surveys dating to 2017. In both 2020 and 2019, majorities (55% on each occasion) said Trump had changed political debate in the U.S. for the worse.

considering the disastrous state of division in this country. About 1/3 of the country have been brainwashed to believe that Biden lost the election, so they are obviously not even in play.

It means MOST of the country is with Joe, even if Congressional Republicans are not.

It shows Congressional Republicans are out of touch with voters, and voters are in tune with what the country needs. Joe is leading and his agenda is resonating.

With Reagan, Bush, and Trump, there seems to be a pattern of Republicans destroying the economy and Democrats having to rebuild it.
