- As President Biden passes the halfway point of his first term in office, an Emerson College Polling national survey finds 44% of voters approve of the job he is doing as President, while 48% disapprove of the job Biden is doing. Since the November Emerson national survey, Biden’s approval has recovered five percentage points, from 39% to 44%, and his disapproval has decreased four percentage points, from 52% to 48%. The president’s approval remains below his inaugural approval of 49% in the February 2021 Emerson poll.
