Joe Biden’s presidency began amidst a country in turmoil and with political rancor gripping Washington. Yet a majority of Americans consistently approved of Biden, himself.

The newly elected president’s popularity remained constant through his first 100 days as he enacted a stimulus plan, and introduced an agenda that included infrastructure spending and support for social programs like universal pre-k and paid family leave — all of which polled well with voters.

But in recent months that began to change as poll after poll showed diminishing support. Today, a majority of Americans disapprove of the job President Biden is doing.

Diane spoke with Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report, a non-partisan newsletter that analyzes elections, campaigns, and political trends. They discussed what’s behind Biden’s numbers and what this means for Democrats as we head toward the midterm elections.
