How are his approval ratings?
Despite a bitter presidential race, Mr Biden began his term with 56% of the country approving of his performance, according to RealClearPolitics, and having won more than 80 million votes – more than any other president.
But in his first year, he has had a startling slide in fortunes.
Has he got the pandemic under control?
In his first year, he has expanded vaccine availability and currently, about 75% of the US has had at least one dose, and 63% are fully vaccinated. Children as young as 5 have been eligible for the vaccine since November, 80 million booster doses have been administered to help protect against Omicron, and free at-home rapid tests have just become available to order this week.
How has the US economy fared under his watch?
Employment rebounded somewhat over the last year, with 6.4 million jobs added. Though total employment remains lower than its pre-pandemic level, jobless claims have dropped to a near 50-year low.
Has he delivered on immigration reforms?
One of Mr Biden’s promises while running for office was to end the separation of migrant families and detention of children at the border, a Trump-era policy that angered the left.
The president kept his word on ending the so-called “zero-tolerance” policy, and the number of minors held in detention centres has plummeted.
What are his accomplishments?
Mr Biden was able to achieve some early successes, passing a $1.9tn pandemic relief bill in March.
He also got the US to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, delivered 100 million jabs for 50 million people in 100 days and reversed the ban on transgender people in the military.
Despite opposition from Republicans and a fractured Democratic caucus, he managed to pass a $1tn infrastructure bill in November.
A longer term accomplishment may be his prolific appointment of judges – he has named more in his first year than any president since Ronald Reagan.
However, Mr Biden was dealt a major blow this week when members of his own party made it clear they wouldn’t help him push his voting reforms through Congress. It wasn’t the first time. Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, moderate Democrats in key swing states, have also held back his social-spending bill and climate agenda.
