Biden's Approval Hit 44 Percent, Then Tanked Again

A new Reuters/IPSOS poll now shows Joe Biden's numbers, which had been trending upward, are starting to fall again. Democrats appear to have gotten caught up in the seasonal polling trend and bought into their own hype. Here are some of the results.

• The two-day national poll found that 38% of Americans approve of Biden's job performance.
• For Republicans, the next most pressing problems were immigration and crime, each of which topped concerns for about one in 10 Republicans.
• Among Democrats, about one in eight saw the environment as the top issue, and about one in 10 pointed to the end of national abortion rights.
