This is a list of opinion polls taken on the presidency of Joe Biden in 2021. To navigate between years, see opinion polling on the Joe Biden administration. For 2022 opinion polling, see 2022 opinion polling on the Joe Biden administration.
Biden's average approval rating was generally over 50% in the first 7 months of his presidency. In late July, his approval rating started to decline. With the fall of Kabul in mid-August and a majority of Americans disapproving of Biden's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, [1] as well as the continued rise in COVID-19 cases, his average disapproval rating became higher than his average approval rating in late August. Biden started having an average disapproval rating of over 50% in late October. [2] By then, Afghanistan had largely faded from the news, leading some to believe the COVID-19 pandemic, worsened by the Delta variant, [3] and the polarization regarding measures like vaccine mandates, [4] caused his low approval rating. Others have emphasized that the high inflation, which hit a 39-year high, [5] [6] negatively affected his approval rating. [7] [8]

In the United States, presidential job approval ratings were first conducted by George Gallup to gauge public support for the president of the United States during their term. An approval rating is a percentage determined by polling which indicates the percentage of respondents to an opinion poll who approve of a particular person or program. Typically, an approval rating is given to a politician based on responses to a poll in which a sample of people are asked whether they approve or disapprove of that particular political figure. A question might ask: "Do you approve or disapprove of the way that the current president is handling their job as president?"

Joe Biden's tenure as the 46th president of the United States began with his inauguration on January 20, 2021. Biden, a Democrat from Delaware who previously served as vice president for two terms under President Barack Obama, took office following his victory in the 2020 presidential election over Republican incumbent president Donald Trump. Upon his inauguration, he became the oldest president in American history, breaking the record set by his predecessor Trump. Biden entered office amid the COVID-19 pandemic, an economic crisis, and increased political polarization.
Joe Biden, the 46th president of the United States, has been in the national spotlight for over half a century, ever since he won his first election to the United States Senate in 1972. During his long tenure in the Senate, Biden was seen as a figure with the tendency to commit gaffes. He has been associated with working-class politics during his career, having been raised in a working-class family. His capacity for empathy has been noted, as has his tendency for exaggeration. A long-standing parody of Biden by The Onion, popular during his time as Barack Obama's vice president, is thought to have contributed positively to his public image. Biden's approval ratings as president have overall been highly polarized, with mixed support from Democrats and almost complete opposition from Republicans.
