• The poll showed Biden’s approval rating had dipped slightly from November, when his approval rating was at 36 percent. It continued a troubling trend for Biden, whose approval rating has steadily declined in each Quinnipiac poll released over the last several months.

• And it follows a broader trend of underwater polling numbers for Biden as he grapples with a series of difficult issues to tackle, such as rising prices, a persistent coronavirus pandemic and disagreements within his own party that have stalled progress on his Build Back Better agenda.

• Wednesday’s tough poll numbers are attributed largely to poor marks from independent voters, 57 percent of whom said they disapproved of Biden’s job performance compared to 25 percent who approved.

• Biden also saw his approval among Democrats dip from 87 percent in November to 75 percent in the latest poll.

• Among registered voters, 35 percent approved of Biden’s job performance, while 54 percent disapproved, according to the poll.
