President Joe BidenThe approval rating reached a new low of 37 percent in a survey published Sunday, which also showed that 10 percent more older Americans would prefer Republicans control Congress than Democrats.
More than half – 55 percent – of adults disapprove of Biden’s work just days before the president makes his first address on the state of the Union. Seven percent say they have no opinion.
Of the 37 percent who approve, only 20 percent say they “strongly approve”, while of the 55 percent who disapprove, 44 percent strongly disapprove, according to the new ABC News / Washington Post poll taken on February 20-24.
When divided into parties, the vast majority of Republicans with 86 percent disapprove of Biden’s work and even 61 percent of independent voters disapprove of the president.
Democrats gave Biden 77 percent approval, which shows the great discrepancy and growing negative influence of independent Americans on Biden’s performance.
Biden and First Lady Jill, who are in Delaware this weekend, arrived for a memorial service for Joan Oliver, Hally Biden’s mother, who was married to President Bo’s son until his death in 2015.

A White House spokesman said the president spoke regularly with his national security team on Thursday to receive updates on Russia and Ukraine, even though he was not in Washington.

This is also due to the fact that American voters are expressing concerns about the economy, inflation and taxes, as well as education. Concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic are declining, despite the administration’s continued focus on their efforts in this area.
When 1,011 adults surveyed were asked which party they would prefer to control the next Congress, 50 percent said Republicans and 10 percent said Democrats.
Currently, the House of Representatives and the Senate are controlled by Democrats with thin borders.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi can only afford to lose a handful of Democrat seats in the lower house to retain a majority after the November 2022 midterm elections. Thirty members of Congressional Democrats have already said they will not want re-election this year. which gives Republicans an even bigger advantage.
The Senate is currently divided into 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, with Vice President Kamala Harris holding the final vote.
The same poll, published Sunday by the ABC News / Washington Post, shows that 50% of all adults polled want Republicans to control Congress after the 2022 interim terms, and 40% want Democrats to control Capitol Hill.
If Democrats win another seat, they will be able to increase their majority, given that moderate Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin voted against his party on several measures – and Arizona Sen. Kirsten Cinema also helped keep some of the Biden’s agenda in the upper house.
The Sunday poll has a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points. Out of 1011 respondents, 904 are registered voters.
In the same poll last year, Biden’s endorsement continued.
March 2021 showed it with approval of 52 percent, which fell to 50 percent by June last year. In September, it fell significantly to 44 percent after the failed withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and reached 41 percent by November.
This latest poll is the first time it fell in the 1930s.
