Biden approval rating: Thumbs up overall, but thumbs down on immigration: poll

A new national poll indicates that most Americans approve of the overall job President Biden is doing in the White House. But, according to AP-NORC survey released Monday, the president’s numbers are mixed on gun violence and underwater on immigration.

Biden stands at 63% approval and 36% disapproval in the poll, which was conducted April 29-May 3. That compares to 54%-42% approval/disapproval in an average of all the most recent surveys that was compiled by Real Clear Politics. As expected, the AP-NORC survey spotlighted a vast partisan divide, with 96% of Democrats and 62% of independents giving the president a thumbs up, but only 23% of Republicans approving of the job Biden is doing steering the country.
