Most believe President Joe Biden has not accomplished much during his first two years in the White House, a new poll suggests.
The ABC News-Washington Post poll taken between Jan. 27 and Feb. 1 says 62% of those polled believe Biden has accomplished very little, while only 36% believe he has accomplished a “great deal” or a “good amount.”

When the 1,003 adults polled were divided by political affiliation, the Democrats had the most positive views about the president, with them saying that he had accomplished a “great deal” or a “good amount,” 77%-22%. But independents and Republicans both overwhelmingly believed he had accomplished very little, with a 66%-32% margin for independents and a 93%-7% margin for the Republicans surveyed.
The numbers align similarly to polls conducted at or near the midway point of both former President Donald Trump and Bill Clinton’s first terms, with most respondents not seeing much in terms of accomplishments.

When those polled were directly asked about whether Biden had made progress on job creation, infrastructure, prescription drug prices, and electric vehicle affordability, the majority said he had not made progress by a majority in three of the four categories. In terms of prescription drug prices, a plurality said he had not made progress, 47%, while 30% believed he had made progress and 23% had no opinion.
The poll comes as Biden prepares to deliver his second State of the Union address on Tuesday before a joint session of Congress. The president will look to promote what his administration has accomplished, with the White House saying Thursday that the theme of the address will be optimism.
