WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 28: President Joe Biden addresses a joint session of Congress, with Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on the dais behind him on April 28, 2021 in Washington, DC. On the eve of his 100th day in office, Biden spoke about his plan to revive America’s economy and health as it continues to recover from a devastating pandemic. He delivered his speech before 200 invited lawmakers and other government officials instead of the normal 1600 guests because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

President Joe Biden‘s job approval rating hit new lows on Saturday amid the surging COVID-19 cases nationwide and the Afghanistan crisis.
In the CBS News poll, Biden’s approval rating hit 50 percent, with the same 50 percent of the population disapproving him. His rating from this poll fell 8 points since July. NBC News poll showed that Biden had 49 percent of the approval rate and a 48 percent disapproval rate. His rating from this poll fell 4 points since July.
The survey results show the public’s more pessimistic view towards the COVID-19 response of the federal government since April, as the country still remains split over whether to mandate the vaccine or not or which side should control Congress following the 2022 midterms. The results are also reflecting the recent Afghanistan crisis, especially after Taliban took power in Kabul.
On Monday, just two days after the poll results were released, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) posted a tweet with a picture titled: “Impeach Biden.”
