President Biden Disapproval Rating Reaches New High
The poll found 69.4% of Americans said “no new mandates or restrictions are required” in response to the COVID variant, while 30.6% said the opposite.
President Joe Biden is kicking off his second year in office with his highest disapproval rating to date.
A new CNBC/Change Research poll found 56% of voters disapprove of Biden’s job as president, the worst disapproval numbers the president has seen since taking office.
The economy and COVID-19 are major factors in voters' sentiments, with 60% disapproving of Biden ’s job on the economy and 55% disapproving of his work on COVID-19. Biden had previously seen poor economic numbers but better approval numbers on his handling of the pandemic.
The drop in COVID-related ratings comes amid a flurry of vaccine mandates and a surge in omicron cases around the nation. This week, the U.S. is reporting one million new cases of COVID-19 daily.
Polling from December showed voters do not approve of Biden's vaccine mandates.
