2022 opinion polling on the Biden administration

This is a list of opinion polls taken on the presidency of Joe Biden in 2022. To navigate between years, see opinion polling on the Biden administration. For 2023 opinion polling, see 2023 opinion polling on the Biden administration.

Throughout 2022, Biden continued having a higher disapproval than approval rating, which had begun in August 2021. Biden's approval was steady throughout the year at approximately 42% with the exception of a significant dip during the summer which saw a period of high gas prices and high inflation. At certain points, two-thirds of Americans disapproved of Biden's handling of the economy.

According to the Gallup poll, during Biden's seventh quarter in office (defined as July 20 to October 19) he had approximately a 42% approval rating. This was found comparable to other presidents at the same time during their first term since Jimmy Carter, with the exception of the majority approval enjoyed by both George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.Jones, Jeffrey M., "Biden Job Approval Back Down to 40%," October 22, 2022, Gallup, Inc. Retrieved November 24, 2022.
