Monmouth: “Joe Biden’s job rating has taken a dip as progress on his spending plans has stalled. The latest Monmouth University Poll finds a majority of the American public continues to support these plans despite concerns about a potential rise in consumer prices as a result. One question is whether the plans should be passed with or without bipartisan support. A sense that the president has not quite met expectations for boosting the middle class may factor into his strategy on passing these bills. Biden currently holds a job rating of 48% approve and 43% disapprove.”
“This is down from his 54% approve and 41% disapprove rating in April. The president gets a positive rating from 86% of Democrats (down from 95%), 36% of independents (down from 47%), and 19% of Republicans (up from 11%). Prior Biden approval levels registered 51% in March and 54% in January. ‘Biden’s rating is still in net positive territory, but it seems to have taken a dip with the growing uncertainty that his signature spending plans will be enacted,’ said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.”
