Biden approval rises sharply ahead of midterms: AP-NORC poll

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Joe Biden’s popularity has improved substantially from his lowest point this summer, but concerns about his handling of the economy persist.

That’s according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Support for Biden recovered from a low of 36% in July to 45%, driven in large part by a rebound in support from Democrats just two months before the November midterm elections.

The economy continues to be a weakness for Biden, with just 38% approving of his economic leadership as the country faces stubbornly high inflation and Republicans try to make household finances the axis of the upcoming midterms.
