Biden saw an especially large boost from Democrats, 78% of whom now say they approve of Biden’s job as president, compared to 65% in July. Democrats also give Biden more favorable marks on his economic stewardship, with 66% now approving compared to 54% in July.

Biden’s scores from Republicans, however, have remained relatively constant. The September poll gave the president 10% GOP approval, compared to 8% in the previous offering.

There was a moderate bump in confidence in the economy compared to the summer despite inflation and rising costs of food and shelter. In the previous AP poll, just 20% said that economic conditions were good, but in September, that number rose to 29%.

AP conducted this latest poll between Friday and Monday and surveyed 1,054 people. The findings have a 3.9-point margin of error.

Biden plans to capitalize on his late summer bump. He, Vice President Kamala Harris, and other top administration officials have scheduled campaign stops in more than 30 states in the lead-up to November.

Biden himself has traveled to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan, taking credit for economic progress since the summer and contrasting it with the so-called “MAGA Republican” agenda Democrats claim is a threat to democracy, in addition to increasing costs on middle-class families.
