President Joe Biden's approval rating has dipped heading into the second month of 2022, after making some modest gains in the new year. The president enjoyed a bump in popularity in January, with his approval rating rising to 43.5 percent, but the figure now stands at around 41.8 percent, according to poll tracker FiveThirtyEight. The Biden administration has just entered its second year and in November the Democrats will face crucial midterm elections that will put the spotlight firmly on the president's agenda.
