Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for January 19, 2021
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
January 19, 2021: A Scott Rasmussen survey found that 59% of voters nationwide approve the way Joe Biden has performed in his role as president-elect. The numbers include 34% who strongly approve and 25% who strongly disapprove.[1]
Overall, Biden earns approval from 73% of urban voters, 56% of those in the suburbs, and 46% of rural Americans.[1]
Positive reviews come from 91% of Democrats, 51% of independents, and 26% of Republicans.[1]
As he prepares to take office, Biden's ratings are up several points compared to his ratings in November and December. That may reflect a bounce following the January 6 occupation of the U.S. Capitol. However, it may also be a reflection of people getting more comfortable with Biden as inauguration day approaches. In either case, Biden will likely be rated by a different standard once he transitions from president-elect to president of the United States.[1]
