As impeachment probe looms, Biden’s approval rating improves


According to a Reuters poll, President Joe Biden’s approval rating is at its highest point since March. The poll comes as House Republicans called for an impeachment inquiry into the president on Tuesday, Sept. 12.

Despite the impeachment inquiry called for by House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Biden’s approval rating has increased to 42%, representing a 2% bump over last month when 40% of respondents said they approved of Biden’s performance since taking office.

According to the poll, 80% of Democrats approved of Biden while 91% of Republicans disapproved. And though there is a bump from last month, Biden’s approval rating has not reached 50% since August 2021.

As the 2024 presidential race looms, House Republicans look to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden, accusing the president of profiting from his son Hunter Biden’s business while serving as vice president. According to White House spokesman Ian Sams, so far no substantial evidence has been presented by Republicans and the Biden administration has said these accusations are false. Sams added that the move amounted to “extreme politics at its worst.”
