President Biden’s job approval rating among independents has hit a record low, according to a new poll. Only 27% of political independents approve of the job Biden, 81, has done in the White House, an 8-point drop since last month, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday. Contributing to the president’s lackluster approval from the key voting group is his handling of the economy and the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, where Biden received even lower marks from independents.

Independent voters doubt President Joe Biden’s mental fitness and believe he is too old to be president, a Harvard/Harris poll found over the weekend. The poll asked respondents, “Is Joe Biden mentally fit to serve as President of the United States or do you have doubts about his mental fitness for office?” Sixty-four percent of independents doubt Biden’s mental fitness, along with 79 percent of Republicans and 27 percent of Democrats. Overall, 58 percent of respondents said they doubt Biden’s mental ability.

President Joe Biden’s approval rating among independents is below 30 percent as he considers launching a reelection campaign in the coming weeks. Biden, who has said he has the “intention” to run for a second term, has a very low approval rating among independents, a key demographic in presidential elections. Just 28 percent of independents approve of Biden, while 61 percent disapprove, a Civiqs poll found Thursday.
