For the first time in more than a year, a national poll shows a majority of Americans approve of President Joe Biden’s job performance in office: An Economist/YouGov poll of 1,500 Americans taken between January 8th and 10th gives Biden a two-point net favorability edge, with a 47%-45% edge.
Even though the net positive rate falls within the poll’s +/-3.4% margin of error, it marks the first time since a Reuters/Ipsos poll from December 2021 that Biden’s numbers were “above water” in a major poll.
