BROOKVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Results of a breaking Long Island University Steven S. Hornstein Center for Policy, Polling and Analysis national poll reveal America's first impression of President Biden and opportunities for common ground in 2021.

A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE CONFIDENT THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL DO A GOOD JOB HANDLING THE CORONAVIRUS (64%) AND THE ECONOMY (53%)

Americans were asked if they believe President Biden will do a good job handling the coronavirus. Of the respondents, 64% said yes, 20% said no, and 16% said they didn't know or gave no answer. 92% of Democrats, 55% of Independents/other, and 35% of Republicans said they believed President Biden will do a good job handling the coronavirus. When asked if they believe President Biden will do a good job handling the economy, 53% of respondents said yes, 28% said no, and 20% said they didn't know or gave no answer. 85% of Democrats, 40% of Independents/other, and 22% of Republicans said they believed President Biden will do a good job handling the economy.

DO AMERICANS BELIEVE PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL BRING THE COUNTRY TOGETHER?

  • BEFORE JANUARY 6 EVENTS ON THE CAPITOL (DECEMBER 21-22, 2020 NATIONAL POLL): 47% of Americans said yes, 34% said no, 19% said unsure/no answer.
  • AFTER JANUARY 6 EVENTS ON THE CAPITOL (JANUARY 21-22, 2021 NATIONAL POLL): 52% of Americans said yes, 26% said no, 22% said unsure/no answer.

Americans were asked if they believe President Biden will bring the country together. A comparison of national polls conducted by the Long Island University Steven S. Hornstein Center for Policy, Polling, and Analysis in the days before and after the events on January 6 indicate that the Capital riots increased American confidence in President Biden's leadership in unifying the country. The difference in respondents' affirmative answer increased by five percentage points when asked if President Biden will bring the country together, from 47% in the December poll to 52% in the January 21-22, 2021 poll. Political identification of respondents made a difference. In the earlier poll, 75% of Democrats, 38% of Independents/other, and 20% of Republicans said they believed President Biden will bring the country together. In the latter poll, 82% of Democrats, 41% of Independents/other, and 26% of Republicans said they believe President Biden will bring the country together.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMON GROUND AMONG PARTIES INCLUDE ISSUES ON CORONAVIRUS, ECONOMY, AND SAFE REOPENING OF SCHOOLS

National poll results found that more Americans agreed with President Biden's first week of executive orders and memorandums on issues related to coronavirus measures, the economy, and safe reopening of schools, suggesting opportunities for common ground among parties.

EXTEND EVICTION MORATORIUM FOR RENTERS WHO HAVE FALLEN BEHIND ON THEIR BILLS DUE TO UNEMPLOYMENT OR REDUCED WAGES DURING THE PANDEMIC

While a variety of reasons were mentioned, the coronavirus and the economy were the issues that mattered most for Americans. The coronavirus was the one issue that mattered most for Democrats (40%).   The economy was the one issue that mattered most for Republicans (40%) and Independents (29%).

HIGH VIEWERSHIP OF INAUGURATION
National poll results found that 7 out of 10 respondents tuned in to watch President Biden's Inauguration. High viewership of the event was supported by Nielsen ratings that estimated 33.8 million Americans watched President Biden's Inauguration, which exceeded the nearly 31 million Americans that watched President Trump's Inauguration in 2017 by comparison.

Hornstein Center for Policy, Polling, and Analysis online poll was conducted through SurveyMonkey from January 21 – 22, 2021 among a national sample of 1,622 adults ages 18 and up.
