(CNN) On the eve of his one-year anniversary in office, President Joe Biden finds himself at the lowest polling point of his tenure -- a worrisome omen for Democrats desperately trying to hold onto their House and Senate majorities this fall.
That's according to new poll numbers from Gallup that peg Biden's approval at just 40% with 56% disapproving. It's the lowest measure so far by Gallup and well below his 48.9% polling average over the past year in the organization's surveys. At this one-year mark, that average is about where Bill Clinton was and ten points better than Donald Trump, but that's a very small on-the-bright-side note.
Those numbers are broadly consistent with CNN's poll of polls, which averages the last four national polls to give a better (and broader) sense of where Biden stands. As of last week, Biden approval in the poll of polls was 42% with 53% disapproving.
The top-line numbers are concerning enough for Biden. But, dig into where Biden has lost support and things are even more worrisome.
That erosion has come primarily from political independents, generally regarded as the swing votes in any election. More than six in ten independents approved of how Biden was handling the job in January 2021. Now that number stands at a paltry 33%.
Democrats, too, have soured somewhat from their once stratospheric approval of the President. Biden enjoyed 98% approval among Democrats in the early days of his term but that number has softened -- down to 82% now.
It doesn't take a political genius to understand what's going on here. The combination of the ongoing Covid-19 surges (Delta and then Omicron) has raised questions about the early belief that Biden and his team were bringing the pandemic under control....

Oh, yeah. Back when Joe got his 81 million votes, his approval rating was about 110%.
“The combination of the ongoing Covid-19 surges (Delta and then Omicron) has raised questions about the early belief that Biden and his team were bringing the pandemic under control....”
What isn’t often said is that this is a bigger indictment of the intelligence of the American public. To vote for a career politician with no real accomplishments because they thought he would control a virus. A VIRUS?!
“Biden’s approval at just 40% “
Who the phoook are these 40%?
Who would approve of what he is doing?
Mentaly incapacitated people shouldn’t vote.
or . . .
If you can’t tell your arse from your elbow, no vote for you!
Another garbage poll from pedophile news central.
Even that is down from the 142% approval rating he got in November of 2020.
They approve of the fact he is a Democrat. That’s all they could be approving of at this point.
If we had an honest press they would follow up how these infrastructure billions were ACTUALLY SPENT... not just the BS spin about how they'll be spent. Of course the press won't do that - they're owned by democrats.
Who are the 40% ? That’s Easy. It’s the CEMETERY VOTE. People just dying to vote Democrat.
Riiiight.
Let's go Brandon!
142 percent turnout in every Democrat city. Wowsa. More popular than George Floyd.
What nonsense in this article. No one, ever, talks about “average” poll results over the past year. Ever. But, CNN has to do this to avoid talking about the record breaking pathetically low support for Let’s Go Brandon.
Honesty, would be to compare FJB’s 40% in Gallup to Clinton and Trump, or Nixon. Even the 40% is much higher than honest polling firms.
Words actually mean things. Here, the question isn't whether Biden and his leftist team were actually trying to bring the 'pandemic' under control; the question is their trying to bring their 'subjects' under control. Huge difference.
Joe said it doesn’t matter who votes, but who counts the votes......
Who said it better, Stalin or Biden?
Consider that they are trying at least as hard to prop up Dementia Joe as they tried to tear down President Trump; this is including fake polling. This whole thing is falling apart.
That would mean Trump only had an approval rating of 30% and was underwater by 26% in the 1st year of his presidency when he was racking up accomplishments.
about 15% are blacks who give unconditional support to anyone with a D after their name, the other 25% are mostly self-hating socialist whites, to stupid to understand that communism has never worked and never will work.
They do not care about the poll numbers. When elections come they will wither cheat OR biden will declare a health emergency and say elections are cancelled and all stays as it is.
how these infrastructure billions were ACTUALLY SPENT... not just the BS spin about how they’ll be spent. Of course the press won’t do that - they’re owned by democrats.

So are the NINETEEN Republican Senators and 13 GOP House that voted for the infrastructure bill.
