Our Most Recent Research

The latest research by Redfield & Wilton Strategies finds that 44% of Americans disapprove (-2) and 39% approve (+1) of President Joe Biden’s overall job performance as President. His net approval rating (-5%) is up three points from our previous poll conducted on 16 January.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ net approval rating stands at -3% (+4). In our latest poll, 41% disapprove (-1) and 38% approve (+3) of Kamala Harris’ performance as Vice President.

On matters of policy, the Joe Biden Administration elicits positive net approval ratings for its performance on the coronavirus pandemic (+14%), healthcare (+6%), the environment (+4%), education (+3%), election integrity/democracy (+3%), and national security & defense (+2%). 

Americans give the Administration negative net approval ratings for its performance on immigration (-15%), crime/policing (-12%), the economy (-11%), housing (-7%), relations with China (-7%), and relations with Russia (-4%).

Our latest hypothetical voting intention finds Donald Trump leading Joe Biden by 2%. After weighing by likelihood to vote, 41% of respondents say they would vote for Trump (–) and 39% say they would vote for Biden (–) if they were candidates in 2024. A further 11% say they don’t know how they would vote (–).

Large majorities of 2020 Donald Trump voters (85%, +4) and Joe Biden voters (78%, -1) maintain that they would again vote for those respective candidates.

If Ron DeSantis and Joe Biden are the candidates in 2024, 40% of voters currently say they will vote for Biden (–), while 39% (+1) say they will vote for DeSantis. 

An alternative 2024 Kamala Harris campaign produces a lead of five points for the former President. If Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are the 2024 nominees, 43% of Americans say they will vote for Trump (+1) and 38% say they will vote for Harris (-1). In this scenario, 11% say they don’t know how they will vote (–).
