Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ Approval Ratings – May 2, 2022

2 May 2022

Leger regularly surveys Americans on President Biden and Vice President Harris’ approval ratings.

Our most recent survey revealed that there has been a slight dip in the president and vice president’s approval ratings since our last survey, conducted in mid-April.

  • 43% of Americans approve of the way Joe Biden is handling his job as president.
  • 40% of Americans approve of the way Kamala Harris is handling her job as vice president.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

A web survey was conducted among 1,005 Americans, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel.

The data was collected from April 29 to May 1, 2022.

For comparison purposes, a probability sample of 1,005 respondents would have a margin of error of ±3.1%, 19 times out of 20.

Using 2010 U.S. Census reference variables, the data was weighted according to gender, age, region, race/ethnicity, household size and education level in order to render a representative sample of the general population.
