President Joe Biden's polling continues its downward spiral, matching the lowest approval rating of his administration this week, just seven months before the 2022 midterm elections.
And the White House's inability to stem Biden's bloodletting will have down-ballot implications for Democrats in November, potentially kneecapping the president during the second half of his term.
Only one-third of adults approve of Biden, according to Quinnipiac University. A majority, 54%, of respondents disapproved of him. Another 13% did not have an opinion of the president more than a year after his inauguration.
Senate Republican campaigns spokesman T.W. Arrighi quipped after the poll's release that "it’ll all be over soon" for Democrats. In particular, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has seized on Biden's "catastrophic" Hispanic support, attributing the erosion to his "wasteful" spending proposals and weak immigration policies.
