Overall, the survey showed 56 percent of voters disapproved of Biden’s performance in office, an uptick from 54 percent in September and 49 percent in April.

Specifically, the poll indicated that 60 percent of respondents disapproved of Biden’s handling of the economy and 55 percent disapproved of his pandemic response.

Additionally, 46 percent of respondents said the stock market is doing “not so good” or “poor” despite one of the market’s best years in decades, according to CNBC, as the S&P 500 completed the year up 26.89 percent.

Regarding vaccine mandates, the survey also indicated that 50 percent said Biden had gone too far. Twenty-six percent said the administration had the right approach, and 24 percent said it had not gone far enough.
