Joe Biden's poll numbers just aren't getting any better

With just more than 200 days left until the 2022 election, there's little evidence that President Joe Biden's poll numbers are improving -- and there's some data to suggest things are getting worse.

CNN's poll of polls -- an average of the last four national polls of Americans -- pegs Biden's approval at just 39% with 55% disapproving. Those numbers haven't changed much from the 40% approval/54% disapproval that CNN's poll of polls measured in March or the 41% approval/54% disapproval from mid-January.

They also make clear that the bump Biden experienced in some polling in the immediate aftermath of his State of the Union speech in early March was temporary -- and not evidence of any longer-term comeback.

This is all bad news for Democrats whose electoral fate -- if history is any guide -- is directly tied to Biden's popularity (or lack thereof).
