President Joe Biden’s approval rating has sunk to a new low as Republicans appear to be in a strong position to retake one or both houses of Congress in next year’s midterm elections.
According to a USA Today/Suffolk University Poll taken last Wednesday through Friday, Biden’s approval rating has fallen to just 38%, with his disapproval rating climbing to 59%, the worst numbers recorded by this poll for the president since he took office. It’s even worse than the 41% approve (55% disapprove) rating the poll recorded in August during Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Biden took the hardest hit with independent voters, of whom an overwhelming 67% disapproved of his job performance.
