House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s approval ratings have reached an all-time high after increasing by 10 percentage points since taking over as the No. 1 House Republican in January, according to a new poll.

Nearly half (46%) of voters approve of the California Republican’s job performance since becoming speaker, a 10-point increase from the 32% who said the same in January, according to polling from YouGov. Roughly 36% say they disapprove, which fares slightly better than the 37% who said the same just four months ago.

McCarthy’s popularity was split largely along party lines, as Republicans were far more likely to approve of his performance than Democrats. Roughly 66% of voters who identified themselves as conservative viewed the speaker favorably compared to only 26% of those who identified as liberal, the poll showed. Forty-one percent of moderates also view the speaker favorably.

The record-breaking poll numbers come amid a debt ceiling standoff between McCarthy and President Joe Biden as the two continue to navigate negotiations to avoid a default before a looming deadline next month. The pair met on Tuesday along with other congressional leaders to appoint members of both McCarthy’s and Biden’s offices to spearhead negotiations.

McCarthy told reporters earlier this week that not much progress has been made, but the speaker later walked back to say he was optimistic a deal could be made in the coming days with a House vote as early as next week. However, that timeline could be considered too ambitious as both sides remain unwilling to budge on their demands.

Also throwing a possible wrench into the timeline is the Senate’s recess, which is scheduled to take place next week. However, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told lawmakers on Thursday to be prepared to return to Washington, D.C., within 24 hours' notice should a deal be made next week.
