President Joe Biden’s approval rating plummets towards the lowest point of his presidency on Thursday, according to a new poll.
The president’s approval sank to 38% this month, nearly reaching the lowest point he has received in office where he received a 36% rating in July 2022, an AP/NORC poll found. Biden‘s March approval has dropped from a 45% rating since February and 41% in January.
“Neutral towards approval,” Andrew Dwyer, one of the respondents, told The Associated Press. “I don’t think he’s the best at representing my position and issues. But I know being president involves compromises.”
Republicans overwhelmingly disapprove of the president at 96%, while the majority of Democrats approve at 76%. Only 21% of Americans believe the country is heading in the right direction, down 7 percentage points from February, a decline of both Democrats and Republicans since last month.

The majority of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy at 68%, with only 31% approving. The president’s handling of the economy is clearly partisan, as 63% of Democrats approve and only 3% of Republicans approve.
Sixty percent of Americans disapprove of the president’s foreign policy, with 39% approval. Biden’s foreign policy is also drawn among party lines with 74% of Democrats approving and only 7% of Republicans approve.
The majority of Americans also disapprove of Biden’s handling of climate change at 57%, with 41% approving. Again, the majority of Democrats approve and the majority of Republicans disapprove, at 61% to 81%, respectively.
The AP/NORC poll surveyed 1,081 U.S. adults from Mar. 16 – 20 and had a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.
