Joe Biden’s approval rating is officially in the basement, folks.
A USA Today/Suffolk survey released over the weekend found the embattled Democrat president’s job approval rating down to 38%. His disapproval rating had risen to 59%.

A lot can happen in a year, but on this date in 2009 (ahead of the 2010 midterms when Republicans took back Congress), Barack Obama’s net approval rating on the RCP average was +8.1%. George W. Bush, by contrast, was 18-points underwater on this date in 2005, one year before Republicans got their clocks cleaned in Dubya’s final midterm election.
Biden is presently -8.6%.
But do we really need polls after last Tuesday? We have hard evidence of where things stand at the moment, and I don’t think the newly-unclogged infrastructure bill is going to be much of a help a year from now.
