President Joe Biden, who promised a more competent and unifying administration, is failing to reach at least 50% approval on any of the nation’s top 10 issues.
Overall, Biden is underwater like his ratings-challenged predecessor. In the latest Ipsos survey, 40% approve of the job Biden is doing as president, while 53% disapprove.

But his failure really stands out in how the public views how he is doing on key issues, including the economy and crime.
The issue he still gets the best grade on is handling COVID-19, but that is now below 50%, at 47%.
And from there, it gets worse. His next two best issues are liberal favorites, the environment, and racial justice. Just 44% approve of his handling of the environment and 42% on racial equity.
Even on his promise to unify the country, just 37% approve of his work.
The numbers show the difficulty Biden and his party face in the midterm elections.
And his relatively good approvals on the coronavirus, race, and the environment might not help because Ipsos found that most polled put those low on their list of priorities.
