Biden's Approval Rating Drops to 40%

A recent NBC poll shows that President Biden's approval rating has dropped to 40%, the lowest ever measured in their poll. Disapproval stands at 57%. This decline is noticeable among independent voters, with only 30% approving of Biden's job performance. Additionally, more than one in five Democrats also disapprove. These numbers indicate a lack of unified support within his own party, potentially posing challenges for a successful reelection campaign.
