A Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Tuesday found that U.S. President Joe Biden’s public approval rating edged lower this week to near the lowest level of his presidency, with the Nov. 8 midterm elections just five weeks away.
A two-day national poll found that 40 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s job performance, down from 41 percent a week earlier.
The president’s approval ratings fell to as low as 36 percent in May and June, helping to fuel expectations that his Democrats will lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives and possibly the Senate in November.
Biden took office in January 2021 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and his term has been marked by economic scars from the global health crisis, including soaring inflation.
The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted online in English in the US, collected responses from 1,003 adults, including 448 Democrats and 383 Republicans. It has a confidence interval — a measure of precision — of four percentage points.
