  • Half of Americans Approve of the Job President Biden Is Doing, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Most Say Conspiracy Theories in the U.S
    Tim Malloy, Polling Analyst (203) 645-8043 Doug Schwartz, Associate Vice President and Director (203) 582-5294 FOR RELEASE: FEBRUARY 17, 2021 HALF OF AMERICANS APPROVE OF THE JOB PRESIDENT BIDEN IS DOING, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NATIONAL POLL FINDS; MOST SAY CONSPIRACY THEORIES IN THE U.S. ARE OUT OF CONTROL Four weeks after being sworn into office, President Joe Biden receives a positive job approval rating as Americans approve 50 – 38 percent, with 13 percent not offering an opinion, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University national poll of 1,056 adults released today. This is little changed from February 3rd when Americans approved 49 – 36 percent, with 16 percent not offering an opinion. There are sharp partisan divides with Democrats approving 91 – 2 percent and independents approving 50 – 34 percent, while Republicans disapprove 82 – 11 percent. When only considering registered voters, Biden’s job approval is 52 – 38 percent. It is nearly the inverse of former President Trump’s negative 38 – 55 percent job approval rating at roughly the same period during his presidency in a February 22, 2017 poll. “One month in, these are solid, but not particularly dazzling approval numbers for the new president. There may be some solace in the knowledge that his predecessor spent four years in office without getting very close to 50 percent,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy. Americans approve 58 – 32 percent of the way Biden is handling the response to the coronavirus. On his handling of the economy, they approve 48 – 39 percent. When it comes to the Biden administration’s handling of the reopening of schools, the public is mixed with 42 percent approving, 38 percent disapproving, and 20 percent not offering an opinion.

    Democrats approve budget bill as first step in passing COVID-19 relief bill Senate Democrats passed a budget bill that paves the way for approval of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. Vice President Harris cast the tie-breaking vote. The House followed suit on the amended bill today. Jim voted for the measure. President Biden continues to hope that any package will have bipartisan support, though that is increasingly unlikely. He insists that $1,400 direct payments are necessary to provide relief to struggling Americans, but expressed willingness to the possibility of limiting the benefits by narrowing eligibility requirements. Many members of the Senate remain opposed to including increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. President Biden delivers first foreign policy address In a speech yesterday at the State Department, President Biden laid out the foreign policy priorities for his Administration, pledging that diplomacy will be central to America’s dealings with international partners and adversaries. He committed the United States to a central role in world affairs going forward and pledged to work closely with allies on issues like fighting the coronavirus pandemic and mitigating climate change’s effects. In the address, the President announced that the U.S. will end support for offensive operations by Saudi Arabia in Yemen, calling the war a “humanitarian and strategic catastrophe.” He will appoint a special envoy to negotiate an end to the conflict. Additionally, he said that the Administration will hold Russia and China accountable for their cyberattacks and attempts to undermine American democracy by interfering in our elections.
