Biden approval rating tumbles to lowest point of his presidency: Poll
Just 33% of Americans approve of Biden's job performance compared to 54% who disapprove
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}President Biden's approval rating has reached the lowest level of his presidency, with a new poll showing only a third of Americans approve of his job performance.
Just 33% of Americans approve of Biden's job performance compared to 54% who disapprove, according to the results of a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday. That mark ties the lowest approval Biden has received in the poll during his precedency, matching the number set in January when the president faced a 33-53 approval deficit.

"With thousands dead in Ukraine and the grim belief that the barbarity has just begun, Americans label Putin a killer who directed his troops to do the unthinkable, cut down non-combatants," Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the polling results.
