Ipsos Core Political : Presidential Approval Tracker (04/20/2022)
Washington, DC, April 20, 2022 – In this week’s Ipsos’ Core Political, the economy continues to top the list of problems in the country, while President Biden's approval rating remains stable.
Detailed Findings
Nearly three out of 10 (28%) Americans believe the economy is the most important problem facing the nation today, followed distantly by the healthcare system (10%) and war and foreign conflict (9%). Crime or corruption (8%) and the environment and climate (8%) are tied for fourth place, with Democrats driving concern for both.
Two in five (43%) Americans approve of President Biden’s performance in office, while half of Americans (51%) disapprove.
Three in four (78%) Democrats approve of President Biden, but only 38% of independents and 13% of Republicans do.
About the Study
These are some of the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between April 18-19, 2022. For this survey, a sample of 1,005 Americans age 18+ from the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii were interviewed online in English. The sample includes 459 Democrats, 360 Republicans, and 133 independents. Weighting was then employed to balance demographics to ensure that the sample's composition reflects that of the adult population according to Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within ± 3.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Americans been polled. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including but not limited to coverage error and measurement error. The poll also has a credibility interval of ± 5.6 percentage points for Democrats, ± 6.3 percentage points for Republicans, and ± 10.4 percentage points for independents.
