And it follows a broader trend of underwater polling numbers for Biden as he grapples with a series of difficult issues.

Tweet

• 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.

• Also hurting Biden’s approval rating in the poll was a majority of respondents disapproving of his handling of key issues.

• The poll found 57 percent disapproved of Biden’s handling of the economy, 54 percent disapproved of his handling of foreign policy and 55 percent disapproved of his handling of the pandemic, which was once a consistent bright spot for Biden.
