Ipsos Core Political : Presidential Approval Tracker (07/29/2021)
Washington, DC, July 29, 2021 – President Biden’s approval rating remains stable this week, while concern over public health increases.
While the economy remains Americans’ top issue, the concern over public health continues to increase. Public health has gone from 12% last week to 17% this week, with the healthcare system at 10% rounding out the top three issues.
Democrats are the ones driving the increased concern over public health, with an eight-point increase from last week. The healthcare system, environment and climate, and inequality and discrimination are all tied for second place at 13%, and the economy in third place at 12%. Republicans, meanwhile, do not believe public health is as important with only 9% listing it as the most important issue facing the country. For them, the economy (22%) and immigration (20%) are much more important. Finally, independents are also most concerned about the economy (23%), but public health comes in second place at 16%.
President Biden’s approval rating holds steady this week at 54%.
Nine in 10 Democrats approve of President Biden’s performance in office.
About the Study
These are some of the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between July 28-29, 2021. 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 444 Democrats, 379 Republicans, and 101 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 ± 3.5 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 ± 5.3 percentage points for Democrats, ± 5.7 percentage points for Republicans, and ± 11.1 percentage points for independents.
