61% OPTIMISTIC ABOUT NEXT FOUR YEARS WITH BIDEN IN OFFICE, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NATIONAL POLL FINDS; 68% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT THE $1.9 TRILLION RELIEF BILL Two weeks into the presidency of , a majority of Americans say, 61 – 34 percent, that they are generally optimistic about the next four years with Biden as president, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea- ack) University national poll of 1,075 adults released today. However, there are sharp divisions by party identification. Democrats say 90 – 7 percent and independents say 62 – 35 percent that they are optimistic. Republicans say 65 – 27 percent that they are pessimistic. Despite an overall majority being optimistic, 69 percent of Americans say they are either very dissatisfied (46 percent) or somewhat dissatisfied (23 percent) with the way things are going in the nation today. Twenty-nine percent say they are very satisfied (6 percent) or somewhat satisfied (23 percent) with the way things are going in the nation today. A majority (56 – 35 percent) say Biden is doing more to unite the country than to divide it. “Amid a palpable uncertainty about the months and even years ahead, there is a sense that President Biden is the man for the moment. And that moment can’t come too soon,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy. U.S. ISSUES: CRISIS VS. PROBLEM? Americans were asked about several issues the United States is confronting right now and whether they think these issues are a crisis, a problem but not a crisis, or not a problem at all. Of the six issues, the coronavirus pandemic is the only one with a clear majority considering it a crisis. • Coronavirus Pandemic: 68 percent say crisis, 25 percent problem but not a crisis, 6 percent not a problem at all; • The State of Nation’s Economy: 45 percent say crisis, 46 percent problem but not a crisis, 7 percent not a problem at all; • The State of Nation’s Democracy: 45 percent say crisis, 43 percent problem but not a crisis, 9 percent not a problem at all; • : 43 percent say crisis, 33 percent problem but not a crisis, 21 percent not a problem at all; • Racial Inequality: 41 percent say crisis, 42 percent problem but not a crisis, 14 percent not a problem at all; • People Believing in Conspiracy Theories: 34 percent say crisis, 41 percent problem but not a crisis, 21 percent not a problem at all. BIDEN: JOB APPROVAL President Biden receives a positive job approval rating with Americans approving 49 – 36 percent of the way he’s handling his job. Sixteen percent didn’t offer an opinion. “The Biden numbers are solid but not spectacular as the country tries to coalesce around a new administration that faces the dual challenge of daunting economic struggles and comforting a COVID-weary public,” said Malloy. On his handling of the response to the coronavirus, Americans approve 61 – 29 percent. As for Biden’s personal traits, Americans say: • 60 – 36 percent that he cares about average Americans; • 58 – 36 percent that he is level headed; • 54 – 39 percent that he has good leadership skills; • 53 – 39 percent that he is honest.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans (64 percent) say the Republican Party is moving in the wrong direction and 25 percent say it is moving in the right direction. “Stung mightily by election losses, wracked by internal disputes, stained by a deadly insurrection and left wondering who is really running the show, the Grand Old Party is a grand old mess in the minds of the vast majority of Americans,” said Malloy.

BIDEN ON THE ISSUES Nearly 7 in 10 Americans support the Biden administration’s proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus relief bill in response to the coronavirus pandemic, as 68 percent say they support it and 24 percent oppose it. Democrats support it 97 – 3 percent, independents support it 68 – 25 percent and Republicans are opposed 47 – 37 percent, with 16 percent not offering an opinion. Nearly 8 in 10 Americans are in favor of $1,400 stimulus payments to Americans with 78 percent supporting and 18 percent opposing. A majority also say 61 – 36 percent that they support raising the federal to $15 an hour. “Struggling to pay the bills, American households need an infusion of cash and need it now.
