President Joe Biden’s job approval rating has rebounded to 43%, the highest since August 2021, marking a four-point increase from the previous month, Gallup reports.
Approval Among Independents
The surge in approval is largely attributed to independent voters, whose approval rating for Biden has risen from 33% in May to 41% now. This is the highest approval rating from independents for Biden since August 2021.
