The numbers mark a sharp increase from May's results, in which just 42% of people surveyed reported an unfavorable opinion.
"A slight majority of Americans, 52%, say the country is worse off today than it was a year ago," the poll's website detailed.
Additionally, the survey showed strong popularity among Republicans for former US President Donald Trump.
Around 78% of Republicans polled indicated that they would like to see a 2024 Trump presidential bid, an increase from May's count of 66 %.
"While a majority of Americans say, 'been there, done that' about Trump, and half feel he has damaged the underpinnings of democracy, support for the former president within the GOP has grown," Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy explained.
Respondents also listed what they felt are the direst issues facing America – the economy, COVID, and immigration.
Broken down by party affiliation, the top three issues of concern to Republicans surveyed are immigration, the economy, and the federal debt.
Urgent issues for Democrats include COVID, health care, and climate change.
