January 20 marks exactly one year since the start of Joe Biden’s stay in the White House. During the presidential elections, he won a near-record number of votes, but by the beginning of his second year as head of state, his approval rating is about 40%. According to Morning Consult/Politico, Biden’s disapproval rating is 56% (4% undecided). At the same time, Democratic voters continue to support him: 78% support him, but only 34% unconditionally. Among Republican voters, 91% do not approve of the actions of the American leader.
