According to the Aug. 19-21 survey, 43% of voters approve of Biden’s job performance, up 6 percentage points from its record low of 37% a month ago. A majority of voters (55%) still disapprove of Biden, but that’s down from a 59% high.
Among Democrats, Biden’s approval rating has improved from 76% to 79% since passage of the Inflation Reduction Act — the party’s signature climate and health care legislation. The share who “strongly approve” of his job performance increased over the same time period from 34% to 39% — the highest since mid-May.
Independent voters are still far more likely to disapprove (61%) of Biden’s job performance than approve (33%), but those figures still represent an improvement from late July, when a record-low 27% approved and a record-high 64% disapproved of him.
