Views of the economy remain overwhelmingly negative, and nearly half of Americans (46%) expect economic conditions to worsen over the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, in a striking change since just last year, there has been a sharp rise in the share of Americans who say the country cannot solve many of its important problems, from 41% then to 56% today. Americans have even become more skeptical of the public\u2019s political wisdom. Roughly three-quarters of the public (76%) say they have little or no confidence in the wisdom of the American people in making political decisions, up from 62% in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new Pew Research Center survey, conducted March 27-April 2, 2023, among 5,079 members of the Center\u2019s nationally representative American Trends Panel, finds that Biden\u2019s job rating remains below 40%. Just 37% approve of his job performance, while 60% disapprove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, just a third of Americans approve of the way Democratic congressional leaders are handling their jobs, and even fewer (29%) give positive job ratings to Republican leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the public has long been critical of Congress, just 26% have a favorable opinion of the new Congress. In contrast to recent years, when Republicans were more likely to have negative views of Democratic-led Congresses, members of both parties now have virtually the same low opinion of Congress: 28% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents and 26% of Republicans and Republican leaners have a favorable view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since taking control of the House in January, Republicans have launched <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-politics-united-states-government-us-republican-party-mexico-c2cbea29dc09f43a4b78ea4a545ba3f2\">multiple investigations<\/a>, including probes of Biden administration policies and allegations of wrongdoing by members of Biden\u2019s family. The survey finds that a 59% majority of Americans have little or no confidence the GOP-led investigations will be fair and reasonable; roughly four-in-ten (39%) expect them to be fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden continues to engender, at most, modest levels of confidence for his handling of major issues. While half of Americans say they are very or somewhat confident in Biden\u2019s ability to respond effectively to a natural disaster, ratings for his handling of other issues, including the economy and working effectively with Congress, are in the mid-to-high 30% range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-58186\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2023\/04\/07\/in-divided-washington-americans-have-highly-negative-views-of-both-parties-leaders\/pp_2023-04-07_100-days_00-02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eae9e1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eae9e1;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" height=\"386\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?w=420\" alt=\"Chart shows About half of Americans say Biden stands up for his\nbeliefs; about a quarter view him as inspiring\" class=\"wp-image-58186 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png 840w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=300,276 300w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=768,706 768w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=441,405 441w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=200,184 200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=260,239 260w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=310,285 310w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=420,386 420w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=640,588 640w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=740,680 740w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=160,147 160w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-02.png?resize=320,294 320w\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Biden\u2019s personal image is a study in contrasts: While 53% of Americans credit him for standing up for his beliefs, only about half as many (27%) describe him as inspiring. More than four-in-ten say he cares about the needs of ordinary Americans (46%) and is honest (44%), but far fewer (31%) say the phrase \u201cmentally sharp\u201d describes him very or fairly well. Republicans give Biden low ratings across all personal dimensions asked about on the survey. While large majorities of Democrats give him high marks on several traits, smaller shares say he is mentally sharp (56%) or inspiring (49%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden also receives less credit from the public for improving the tone of political debate in the United States than he did during the early months of his presidency. Nearly four-in-ten adults (39%) say he has changed the tone of political debate for the worse, while just 20% say he has changed it for the better; 39% say he has not changed it much either way. In April 2021, a few months into his presidency, far more Americans said he had changed the tone of debate for the better (44%) than the worse (29%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-58183\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2023\/04\/07\/in-divided-washington-americans-have-highly-negative-views-of-both-parties-leaders\/pp_2023-04-07_100-days_00-03-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eae6d9\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eae6d9;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" height=\"358\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?w=420\" alt=\"Chart shows Most Americans continue to be concerned by price of food and consumer goods\" class=\"wp-image-58183 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png 840w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=300,256 300w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=768,655 768w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=475,405 475w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=200,170 200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=260,222 260w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=310,264 310w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=420,358 420w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=640,546 640w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=740,631 740w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=160,136 160w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/04\/PP_2023.04.07_100-days_00-03.png?resize=320,273 320w\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey finds that there has been no improvement in Americans\u2019 views of economic conditions since January: Currently, just 19% rate economic conditions as excellent or good, while 46% say they are only fair and 35% view conditions as poor. And while 46% expect economic conditions to get worse over the next year, just 17% say they will improve; 36% say they will be about the same as today. The share predicting economic conditions to worsen has ticked up 6 percentage points since January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost of food, consumer goods and housing remain major concerns for the public. Nearly all Americans are at least somewhat concerned about the price of food and consumer goods, with 72% saying they are very concerned. A majority (61%) also expresses a high degree of concern about housing prices. Other economic issues \u2013 including the stability of banks and financial institutions \u2013 draw lower levels of concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-important-findings-from-the-survey\">Other important findings from the survey<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Little change in the public\u2019s views of Supreme Court<\/strong>.
