Joe Biden's approval rating hits all time low in new pollAfter being 'battered on trust' and 'doubted on leadership,' Biden's approval rating has fallen to 38 percent in the latest poll. 😅😂🤣 The people will blame Trump for the pandemic, but they blame Biden for not having an instant cure and wearing a mask Well, everybody loves a winner but Biden isn't cake walking his agenda.
