While Biden still earns high marks on the pandemic, pessimism about coronavirus is on the rise due to the Delta variant.
President Biden and Democrats are more trusted than Republicans to address the pandemic, improve infrastructure, and rebuild the economy.
Seven in ten Americans support the For the People Act, and most say it is urgent to pass it before the midterm elections in 2022.
Majorities of Americans approve of Biden’s job handling and agenda, including his pandemic response, the American Rescue Plan, and the American Jobs Plan.
Four in five Americans remain opposed to the storming of the Capitol on January 6, and a majority are less confident in the stability of American democracy as a result.
More Americans credit Biden with recent job creation as he and Democrats are seen more as looking out for the middle and working class; Republicans are seen as favoring the wealthy and corporations.
Most Americans want to see provisions to tackle climate change in the American Jobs Plan, and would be disappointed if they aren’t included.
Three in four Americans now believe “the worst is over” with regard to the pandemic as an increasing share of the country sees America returning to normal by the end of the year.
The conversation about funding infrastructure moves Americans toward support for raising corporate income tax rates.
Nearly seven in ten – including a plurality of Republicans – say Biden has had a positive impact on the state of the pandemic.
