Biden’s approval rating is low in all areas, including Democrats who generally support Democrats, including racial minorities and young people. People under the age of 30 gave Biden a resounding thumb up – with 57 percent saying they disapprove and only 43 percent saying they approve of the president’s performance. A majority of 54% of Hispanics and 33% of African Americans said they disapproved of Biden – and 22% of people who voted for Biden in 2020 also disapproved. The results of the early April survey reflect a bad national mood as inflation and illegal immigration reached four-decade highs – with even greater increases expected – as COVID-19-related restrictions are extended and violent crime remains high. About 69 percent of those polled disapproved of Biden’s handling of inflation, which reached 7.9 percent a year earlier in February. Even among Democrats, 41 percent disapproved of Biden’s handling of inflation. And Biden’s overall approval rating is 42%, down one point from last month. It has been moving in the low 40s for months and this tick marks its lowest point so far. pic.twitter.com/6qWcuvpo6K – CBS News Poll (@CBSNewsPoll) April 10, 2022 President Joe Biden’s party is too unfavorable to win the by-elections, with polls plummeting.

CBS found 43% approval rating for Biden in February and March – but previous results are within the margin of error of 2.8 percentage points in the latest poll. Biden won more votes than any other presidential candidate in history less than two years ago – as a pandemic vote by mail and a tight race led to an increase in voter turnout.
