Washington: US President Joe Biden's approval ratings on how he has tackled the Covid-19 pandemic and the economy have plunged, according to a new survey.
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey very earlier showd that Biden is buoyed in particular by the public’s broad backing for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The latest All-America Economic survey published on Tuesday showed that 48 percent approved of the job Biden is doing as President, up a point from the first quarter, but his disapproval numbers grew to 45 percent from 41 percent. The biggest change came in views on his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, where approval dropped 9 points to 53 percent.
Biden's economic approval fell to 42 percent, a decline of 4 points, according to the survey. The President's ratings declined along with worsening views on the economy and the virus. The poll, conducted at the end of July, shows 51 percent of the public pessimistic about the economy and the outlook, the highest level since 2015.
The United States which has suffered the most virus deaths of any nation, is now viewed enviably by much of the rest of the world for its quick vaccination program and robust supplies of the shots.
