The search, who questioned more than 1,000 American adults from February 11 to 14, found that overall, Biden currently has a positive job approval rating of 50 percent, compared with 38 percent who disapprove.

Biden’s approval rating has remained relatively unchanged since Quinnipiac’s first vote for his presidency launched earlier this month, which showed that about 49 percent of Americans approved of their job performance, compared with 36 percent who had a negative perception of the new administration.

Democratic leaders in Congress indicated that they are prepared to approve the account, called the American Rescue Plan, with or without Republican votes in the coming weeks.
