ICYMI: New Polls Show President Biden’s Approval Rating is Soaring as He Continues to Deliver for the American People
September 4, 2024
President Biden’s approval rating is soaring as Americans reflect on his historic accomplishments – leading the world’s strongest economic recovery, defending our freedoms at home and our alliances abroad, and opening the door for future generations to lead for years to come.
Fox News: “Biden approval rating jumps 13 points while Harris leads Trump: poll”
HuffPost: “David Paleologos, the director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, said the 48% approval Biden reached in a poll he conducted for USA Today last week was the highest mark Suffolk had recorded during the Democrat’s presidency. … Biden’s net approval in FiveThirtyEight’s average is now as high as it’s been since May 14, 2023, only a few weeks after he announced he would run for reelection.”
“Paleologos pointed to Biden’s gains with independent women, who have tilted increasingly Democratic since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Biden went from 47% approval to 58% approval with the group in Suffolk’s polling. … Biden’s increased popularity could also help Harris down the stretch of the campaign.”
Washington Post Analysis: “Biden is suddenly seeing his best polls in years”
“Those are Biden’s best numbers in Suffolk polling since he was inaugurated in January 2021. … it’s not the first poll to suggest he’s rising and seeing some of his best numbers in years:
“A Quinnipiac University poll last week featured Biden’s best numbers since the summer of 2021. … Gallup showed his best numbers since August 2022. … An NPR/PBS/Marist College poll in early August showed Biden’s best numbers since March 2022. … A Wall Street Journal poll last week also showed his numbers improving since dropping out.
“As Trump’s campaign makes clear that one of their top strategies is to tie Harris tighter to Biden, it’s looking like less of a potent strategy.”
