According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday, President Joe Biden’s approval rating has reached its lowest level since June.
According to the poll, 39% of voters approve of the job Biden is doing.
Specifically, 78 percent of Democrats approved of Biden’s job performance, up from 69 percent the previous month.
Biden’s approval rating fell to an all-time low of 36% in May.
As the covid-19 pandemic progressed, his approval rating began to fall around August of last year.
He then took a significant hit after the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted in the country’s fall to the Taliban and the deaths of 13 US military personnel in an explosion.
Biden’s poll drop coincides with the passage of a number of key laws.
He signed the PACT Act on Tuesday, which will allow veterans who suffered health complications as a result of being exposed to combustion pits to receive health care benefits.
On Monday, he signed the CHIPS and Science Act, which will increase support for US semiconductor manufacturing in order to compete with China.
Furthermore, Senate Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 over the weekend, which will focus on combating the climate crisis and lowering prescription drug prices.
The bill was passed through budget reconciliation, allowing Democrats to pass it with all 50 of their caucus members present, and Vice President Kamala Harris broke the tie.
