Results of SurveyUSA News Poll #26493
 
Net Approval Ratings Rise Slightly For Biden, Parson, Hawley After Minor Declines for All Three in July:

SurveyUSA's exclusive approval rating tracking for Gray Television's Missouri stations (KMOV-TV in St. Louis, KCTV-TV in Kansas City, KYTV-TV in Springfield, KFVS-TV in Cape Girardeau, WGEM-TV in Quincy, IL; and KYOU-TV in Ottumwa, IA), and for KRCG-TV in Jefferson City and KOAM-TV in Pittsburg, KS., shows some small poll-on-poll improvements for President Joe Biden, for Governor Mike Parson, and for US Senator Josh Hawley, but all in all, little has changed in the two months since SurveyUSA last put the question to registered voters across the state. Subtracting disapproval from approval yields a Net Approval rating:
  • President Biden climbs 4 points, after dipping from Minus 29 in May to Minus 32. in July, back up to a still underwater Minus 28 today.
  • Governor Parson holds steady in positive territory after also seeing a dip: Plus 8 in May, Plus 4 in July, Plus 5 today.
  • Senator Hawley regains 6 points, after sliding 3: from Minus 2 four months ago to Minus 5 two months ago to Plus 1 today.
