Gallup Poll Shows Americans See Decline in U.S. Progress Under Biden

As Biden prepares to leave office, most Americans believe the nation lost ground on key issues, with LGBTQ rights being the only area of perceived improvement.

A Gallup survey of over 500 adults found majorities believe the U.S. lost ground on federal debt, immigration, economy, crime, and global standing during Biden's presidency.
The poll revealed LGBTQ rights as the only area where a plurality of Americans felt progress was made, with 39% citing improvement.
Biden's performance was rated lower than his three immediate predecessors—Trump, Obama, and Bush—on national defense, immigration, and federal debt.
Democrats were more likely to view Biden's presidency positively, but even they reported setbacks on issues like the wealth gap and federal debt.
Biden's presidency concludes with low approval ratings, with 54% of Americans believing he will be remembered as a below-average president.
