Poll confirms voters think Biden sucks as President
A Quinnipiac Poll released today has nothing but bad news for Joe Biden. Let’s start with the overall approval number which shows Biden at a new low of 38 percent. With disapproval at 53%, that puts the president 15% underwater. His approval is also down sharply from just three weeks ago.
That’s down from 42% three weeks ago and from a high of 50% in mid-February.
“Battered on trust, doubted on leadership, and challenged on overall competency, President Biden is being hammered on all sides as his approval rating continues its downward slide to a number not seen since the tough scrutiny of the Trump administration,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said in a prepared statement.

FiveThirtyEight has a lengthy analysis of Biden’s approval numbers out today. Their aggregate of recent polling has him higher at nearly 45 percent approval. However, the site notes the bad news: Biden isn’t rebounding as they predicted he would once the Afghanistan debacle left the news cycle.

Indeed, when you look at Biden’s standing on various issues, he’s now underwater on everything. He’s at 48-50 on his handling of the coronavirus. He’s at 39-55 on the economy, at 37-54 on taxes, 34-58 on foreign policy and 25-67 on immigration. I can imagine his coronavirus numbers coming up a bit in the spring but I can also imagine his immigration numbers sinking lower. As FiveThirtyEight puts it, “there may be no easy fix for Biden.”
Speaking of immigration, it’s worth noting that Biden seems to be doing himself no favors with Hispanic voters. On immigration he was 46 points underwater, 23-69. Asked specifically about Biden’s handling of the Mexican border the response was almost the same at 24-68. Of course some of those respondents probably think he’s not being lenient enough. They are going to be even more disappointed when immigration reform doesn’t make it into his reconciliation bill.

Biden's competency is openly questioned across the board. It is not just college students who are yelling "F*** Joe Biden."
It is also impacting other races:

I think the parents' revolt against CRT is also hurting McAuliffe.
