Biden continues to hold on to high approval ratings

Source: The Associated Press/NORC

Nearly two-thirds of Americans approve of Biden’s overall job performance and a slim majority say the country is headed in the right direction.

May 10, 2021

President Biden continues to enjoy widespread job approval, as well as approval of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and healthcare. The public is less positive about his handling of immigration and gun policy. And 54% say things in this country are going in the right direction, the highest since 2017; 44% think the country is heading in the wrong direction.

Views of the country and the president are colored by partisanship.

Less than a quarter of Republicans approve of Biden’s general job performance, and even fewer tend to support his immigration, gun, economic, or foreign policies. However, 47% of Republicans approve of how Biden is handling the pandemic, and 29% support his management of health care in general.

23% over all approval? that's big for Republicans.
29% Republican approval on Health Care? Huge.

But Immigration at 11 approval? Shows how racist the GOP is, in bold and underlined letters.
