The national poll, conducted Feb. 2-3, found that 41% of US adults approved of Biden's performance in office, while 56% disapproved and the rest were not sure. The prior week's poll had put Biden at a 45% approval rating and 50% disapproval.
Americans appear increasingly exhausted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic toll. About 60% think the country is heading in the wrong direction, with the economy and public health most often cited as top concerns, the poll showed.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll is conducted online in English throughout the United States. The latest poll gathered responses from a total of 1,005 adults, including 443 Democrats and 377 Republicans. It has a credibility interval – a measure of precision – of 4 percentage points.
