As Americans turn their attention away from the pandemic, President Joe Biden is witnessing a decline in support that’s driven by slipping approval among Democratic voters, a new survey finds.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted June 11 to June 17 in a survey of 4,420 adults, found 55% of voters approve of Biden’s job performance—down four points from a high of 59% in March, when the president signed the $1.9 trillion stimulus package into law.
This four-point decline appears to be driven by Democrats: 78% of Democratic voters approve of Biden’s handling of the economy, down seven points from April.
Biden has witnessed a drop in support among Democrats on his handling of gun violence as well, with his approval rating dropping 11 points since April.
On average across all polls, Biden’s approval rating has fallen to 52.1%—down from over 55% in March—according to FiveThirtyEight’s tracker.
Biden’s approval rating continues to track higher than former President Donald Trump, who never cracked 46% average approval over the course of his presidency.
