CBS Poll | Biden Approval 34% with Independents
Only 34 percent of independents in the United States approve of how Joe Biden handles his job as president, a recent CBS News/You Gov poll revealed.
The poll found that 66 percent of the 653 independent respondents disapproved of Biden’s job as president.
The poll, taken from May 18 to 20, found that overall from all the 2026 respondents, only 44 percent approved of the president’s job performance compared to 56 percent who said they disapproved.
Biden polling in the low thirties with independents comes as the president is looking to spend more time on the campaign trail trying to potentially help vulnerable members in the House and Senate win reelection, as well as tout the very few agenda items the Democrats with total control of Congress have been able to accomplish.
