Biden has 59% approval rating as he approaches 100 days in office – study

Fast-paced vaccine rollout and $1.9tn Covid relief package helped give president strong rating

A fast-paced vaccine rollout and the $1.9tn coronavirus relief package have helped to give Joe Biden a strong approval rating as he nears his 100th day in office, research published on Thursday has found.

The new president had the backing of 59% of respondents in a wide-ranging Pew Research Center study that compared his performance with that of other recent incumbents in their early days in the White House.
