For the first time in two months, US President Joe Biden recorded an increase in public opinion polls with 40 percent support following a series of successes in the field of legislation, according to a new poll by the Ipsos polling institute in collaboration with the Reuters news agency. However, these are still low figures in comparison to other presidents, which is an obstacle for the Democratic Party ahead of the mid-term elections to be held on November 8.
The promotion of laws on economic competition with China and subsidies for the semiconductor industry, as well as the approval of laws on climate, apparently had an impact on Biden's image among his supporters.
The survey was conducted online across the US and over a thousand people participated, including 445 self-identified Democrats and 357 supporters of the Democratic Party.

Last May, the support figures for the president were at an unprecedented low and stood at only 36 percent, while since August last year there has been a negative trend in which the democratic leader fails to pass the 50 percent support mark.
Biden's general condition is very bad and it is difficult to see in the current survey a general trend that indicates a wider improvement in his image.
The growing inflation, the recession hovering over the world's largest power and the administration's refusal to admit it publicly, make it difficult for the public to believe in the White House's intentions and abilities to deal with the problem.
On top of that, despite the latest successful assassination of the Al Qaeda leader last week in Afghanistan, on the 15th of the month we will mark one year since the fall of Kabul to the Taliban and the hasty and fatal American withdrawal after 20 years of presence in the country.
It is likely that the conservative camp will make sure to remind the American public of one of the biggest failures in the field of foreign policy.
But the latest raid by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on the estate of former President Donald Trump could play into the hands of the Democrats and shake up the cards again against the possibility that he decides to run in the general election for the US presidency in 2024.
