Poll Tracker

Vice President Joe Biden has the approval of a majority of the public according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll.

While Biden's above-the-midpoint score is far greater than Vice President Dick Cheney's approval ratings at the end of the Bush administration, it's not too far from where Cheney ranked early in Bush's first term.

Biden's approval/disapproval score is 55 percent to 33 percent, with 12 percent undecided. The poles of the poll, those who strongly approve or strongly disapprove of Biden are nearly even, with 20 percent choosing the former and 21 percent the latter. Where Biden wins is in the middle: 36 percent say they somewhat approve of the way he is handling his job while only 12 percent say they somewhat disapprove.
