America is divided, not united, under Biden

One of President Joe Biden's signature promises during the 2020 campaign was that he would "Unify the country." Now, a little more than a year into the presidency, most Americans don't feel he has lived up to his promise.

In addition to the question above, I&I/TIPP asked: "Which of the following is closer to your point of view?" The possible answers: "President Biden is living up to his promise to unify the country" or "President Biden is stoking partisanship and division." The results clearly show why Democrats are scrambling right now to bolster their party's image among voters as Biden's presidency plummets in poll ratings.

Some 46% in the I&I/TIPP Poll responded "President Biden is stoking partisanship and division," while just 34% agreed "President Biden is living up to his promise to unify the country." But on this specific question, the political split was notably wide.

Among Democrats, 65% said that Biden's living up to his vow to unify the country.

Among the independents and other parties, 48% said Biden stoked partisanship and division, while 23% said he had fulfilled his pledge to unify the nation.

While agreeing with Biden on those four issues, Republicans suggested the political divide was far broader, and included sharp policy differences on what to do about such issues as the U.S.-Mexico border, rising crime rates and police funding, soaring gasoline prices, inflation, education, the COVID pandemic, among other points of contention.
