Biden's lowest approval rating was in January, when the AP found 42% of people approved of his presidency a year after he took office.

While the AP notes Republicans disapproval of Biden has remained steady, a poll found less than one in 10 GOP respondents approve of him.

Biden's approval rating with Democrats is lower now than it was in 2021, when he had at least an 82% approval rating among his own party.

Only 38% of respondents approve of Biden's job on immigration, and two-thirds disapprove of how he has handled the economy.

The poll was conducted among 1,172 adults.

34%. The share of Democrats who said the U.S. is moving in the right direction dropped steeply from April. Around 20% of respondents think the country is moving in the right direction, down from 30% last month.

The popularity of Biden among Democrats will affect the elections. Recent polling shows that Republicans are more enthusiastic to vote in November, and that Democrats are less enthusiastic about the president's job performance. If the Supreme Court overturns abortion rights, that will be a catalyst for the Democrats to get more of their base to the polls.

Key Background

As the U.S. faces issues like the ongoing war in Ukraine, rising inflation, a national baby formula shortage, mass shootings and the Covid-19 Pandemic, Biden's approval rating is falling. 39% of people approve of Biden's job performance according to a May 9-13 NPR/PBS News Hour/Marist poll. According to an aggregate of his polls, the president's job ratings have been declining since last summer. Biden saw a brief rise in the polls in late February and March around when the Ukraine conflict started, but more Americans have disapproved of the president than approved of him.
