Biden Loses Ground On His Handling Of COVID-19 Response, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Infrastructure Bill Gets A Thumbs Up By A 2 To 1 Margin
Share
With the Delta variant spreading and coronavirus cases once again spiking in the U.S., President Joe Biden maintains a positive grade on his handling of the coronavirus response as Americans approve 53 - 40 percent, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of adults released today. However, this is a double digit drop from a Quinnipiac University poll in May when Americans approved 65 - 30 percent of Biden's handling of the coronavirus response.
President Biden gets a mixed job approval rating, with 46 percent of Americans approving and 43 percent disapproving. This compares to a positive 49 - 41 percent job approval in May.
"He has been leading the charge in the battle to beat back COVID, so why is President Biden losing ground with Americans? As the unvaccinated fall victim to the Delta variant, the 'turning the corner' optimism from the White House may be starting to ring premature," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.
On his handling of the economy, Biden receives a negative 43 - 48 percent approval rating, compared to a positive 48 - 43 percent approval rating in May.
On his handling of foreign policy, President Biden receives a split 42 - 44 percent approval rating, compared to the negative 39 - 44 percent approval he received in May.
On his handling of gun violence, Biden receives a negative 32 - 55 percent approval.
INFRASTRUCTURE & RECONCILIATION
As the Senate debates a roughly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, Americans say 65 - 28 percent that they support a spending bill to improve the nation's roads, bridges, broadband, and other infrastructure projects. Democrats say 93 - 4 percent and independents say 64 - 29 percent that they support it. Republicans say 54 - 41 percent that they oppose it.
Americans also say 62 - 32 percent that they support a $3.5 trillion spending bill on social programs such as child care, education, family tax breaks, and expanding Medicare for seniors.
"Two signature spending bills are embraced by Americans, who envision a robust rebuilding of the country's very backbone, while pulling families up the economic and social ladder," added Malloy.
JANUARY 6TH COMMISSION
A majority of Americans (57 percent) say that the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th was an attack on democracy that should never be forgotten, while 38 percent say too much is being made of the storming of the U.S. Capitol and it is time to move on.
Americans support, 63 - 32 percent, the Congressional investigation of the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. Democrats support the investigation 91 - 8 percent, and independents support it 64 - 30 percent. Republicans oppose it 63 - 29 percent.
However, Americans say 59 - 30 percent that they do not think the Congressional investigation of the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th will lead to significant policy changes.
"'Never forget that day and keep digging,' say Americans who believe the foundations of democracy were threatened on January 6th. But the cynicism runs as deep as the call for justice. The majority think nothing substantive will come of a Congressional investigation," said Malloy.
TRUMP ENDORSEMENTS & 2024
Americans were asked about whether they'd be more or less likely to vote for a candidate who was endorsed by Donald Trump. Overall, 19 percent say they would be more likely to vote for the candidate, 41 percent say less likely, and 37 percent say it doesn't make a difference. Among Republicans, 54 percent say they will be more likely to vote for the candidate, 34 percent say it doesn't make a difference, and 6 percent say less likely.
Almost half of Americans, 49 - 39 percent, say they think Donald Trump will run for president in 2024, with another 12 percent not offering an opinion.
A majority of Americans (60 percent) think it would be bad for the country if Donald Trump ran for president in 2024, while 32 percent think it would be good for the country.
BIDEN ENDORSEMENTS & 2024
Americans were asked about whether they'd be more or less likely to vote for a candidate who was endorsed by Joe Biden. Overall, 16 percent say they would be more likely to vote for the candidate, 29 percent say less likely, and 53 percent say it doesn't make a difference. Among Democrats, 42 percent say they will be more likely to vote for the candidate, 53 percent say it doesn't make a difference, and 3 percent say less likely.
A majority of Americans, 54 - 33 percent, say they think Joe Biden will not run for president in 2024, with another 13 percent not offering an opinion.
Just under half of Americans (48 percent) say they think it would be bad for the country if Joe Biden ran for president in 2024, while 37 percent think it would be good for the country.
1,290 U.S. adults nationwide were surveyed from July 27th - August 2nd with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points.
