President Biden’s approval rating has risen to 43%, marking his highest rating since November, according to a new poll from the Financial Times and the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. This represents a 4-point increase from the same poll conducted in March.

The poll also revealed that 41% of registered voters approved of Biden’s handling of the economy, a 5-point increase from March. When compared to former President Trump, 41% of voters trust Trump more than Biden on the economy, while 35% trust Biden over Trump, and 16% trust neither.

Biden’s approval rating has been consistently low in recent months, rarely exceeding 40%. In January, an ABC News/Ipsos poll reported his approval rating at 33%, and a Gallup survey in February found it had slipped to 38%.

In November, a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey gave Biden a 45% approval rating. His higher approval rating at that time was linked to his handling of the economy, with 44% approving of his work in that area.

The new poll, conducted from April 4-8, included 1,010 registered voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
