Yahoo Finance Poll of the Day: Biden’s Approval Rating on Pandemic Edges Higher
Just over half of Americans (51%) in a new Washington Post/ABC News survey said they approve of the way President Biden is handing the coronavirus pandemic, up from 44% as of February but still below the nearly two-thirds approval on the subject Biden enjoyed about a year ago. The poll finds Biden’s approval rating on the economy stands at 38%, down from 52% a year ago — and just 28% approve of the way the president is handling inflation, compared with 68% who disapprove. Biden’s overall approval rating in the poll is 42%, up five percentage points from February but still 10 percentage points below April 2021.
The poll of 1,004 adults was conducted by telephone April 24 to 28. The results have a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
