A January poll by McLaughlin & Associates reports an average of 57% of participants disapprove of President Joe Biden’s work in his first year of office, while 41% approve.

In their monthly survey of national trends related to the American political environment, McLaughlin & Associates seeks insight into voters’ outlook on and opinion related to a number of current topics. The January 2022 survey was conducted from Jan. 13 to Jan. 18 and polled 1,000 likely general election voters.

According to the results, 56% of people believe Vice President Kamala Harris is unfavorable, while 39% say she is favorable. Opinions of Nancy Pelosi followed a similar pattern, as 61% say she is unfavorable and 33% say she is favorable.
