53 percent of voters disapproved of Biden's performance on national security, 54 percent on foreign policy, 60 percent on border security, and 64 percent on his handling of the economy.

74 percent approve of his executive order requiring criminal background checks on gun buyers, with 94 percent of Democrats, 76 percent of independents, and 53 percent of Republicans approving, and 54 percent approve of the Willow Project, an oil drilling plan in northern Alaska, with 51 percent of Democrats, 53 percent of independents, and 57 percent of Republicans approving. 

"Biden’s numbers cratered in the fall of 2021 after the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle and the onset of hyperinflation," said Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. "Since then, his approval has barely moved, despite a midterm election, economic ups and downs, and several legislative policy rollouts."

The poll was conducted between March 24 and 27 in partnership with Beacon Research and Shaw & Company Research of 1007 registered voters. The poll has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

According to RealClearPolitics averages of polls throughout Biden’s presidency, Biden crossed the threshold into a majority of Americans disapproving of his job performance in the days following the botched Afghanistan withdrawal which left 13 American service members dead.

His peak disapproval average was 57.5 percent on July 21, 2022.
