Joe Biden approval rating shows that nations are divided beyond simple party lines

President Joe Biden is faced with divided approval based on gender, race and where people live, in addition to a clear dichotomy.

Biden approved a majority through his presidency, but there was a clear divide between Democrats and Republicans.

The composite data from the Gallup polls during January, February and March put Biden’s work approval at 56 percent. For Democrats, it was 96 percent and Republicans 10 percent.

Gallup described his figure as a ‘modest honeymoon’ showing that he approves of the historic average of 53 percent.

“His honeymoon is driven by near-unanimous approval among his fellow Democrats and majority approval among independents, with the vast majority of Republicans disapproving from the start,” reads an article along with the approval figures.

Although this biased split is clear, the data also showed division into other subgroups in the ballot box.

Men and women differ, with women giving Biden higher approval. A majority, 62 percent, of the women vote Biden well. For men, it’s 49 percent.

White adults will also approve of Biden less than black adults.

For black adults, the figures show 89 percent approval for Biden and eight percent disapproval. For white adults, it was 45 percent approving and 52 percent disapproving.

The vote also showed that Biden’s approval among 73 adults disapproved at 73 percent and 17 percent. Among non-white adults, it was 78 percent approval and 15 percent disapproval.

Where respondents lived was also a factor, while those in a big city rejected 73 percent approval for Biden and 23 percent. Those in rural areas approved him 36 percent and rejected 61 percent.

Different age groups also show different views. Younger respondents are more likely to support Biden than their older counterparts.

Under the age of 65 and older, 51 percent agree with Biden and 47 percent disapprove. For the age group of 18 to 29, 66 percent vote well and 27 percent disapprove.

The compiled data is based on responses from 2,937 adults, collected from three surveys from January 21 to February 2, February 3 to 18, and March 1 to 15. The margin of error in the results based on the total sample is plus or minus 2 percent at the 95 percent confidence level.

Biden campaigned for unity during his time in the White House. Voting showed he was facing an uphill battle.

He called on Americans to comment on the COVID-19 pandemic on Thursday.

“Look, together – together we will continue stronger, with renewed faith in each other, in our government that fulfills its most important function: the protection of the American people,” Biden said.

He asked Trump and his own supporters to “give each other a chance” after calls declared him the winner of the presidential election. Biden continues with a similar plea for unity in his inaugural address.

Newsweek contacted the White House for comment on the president’s approval.
