With many Republicans in Congress disapproving of President Biden’s (D) handling of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, inflation, and the spike in gas prices, it appears that voters are using hindsight in their perspective of the 45th President.
President Biden, on the other hand, comes in at a -6 disapproval rate (43 approve, 49 disapprove).
