"The survey found 38 percent of U.S. adults approving of Biden’s handling of the presidency, compared to 51 percent who disapprove. In other words, the 80-year-old has a net approval of -13, greater than his -11 approval in June and -6 in May, when 43 percent disapproved of his job performance," Breitbart News reported.
"The poll attributed some of the decline to a loss of support within Biden’s base over the past several months. In March, for instance, 83 percent of Democrats approved of Biden’s job performance, and ten percent disapproved. In July, 19 percent disapproved of Biden — a nine point increase," it added.

His numbers especially fell among college graduates who hoped to receive forgiveness of student loan debt under his presidency.
"Biden's approval among college grads slipped to 48%-42% in July from 52%-40% in June and 55%-37% in May," the survey noted.
"The Supreme Court struck down Biden's loan forgiveness program on June 30. On top of that, the debt-ceiling deal in early June formalized an end to the moratorium on most student-loan payments that's been in place since April 2020," it added.
The concerns also come as Republicans ramp up attacks in the next presidential campaign, with former President Donald Trump leading current polls in a potential rematch with Biden.
The first GOP primary debate is scheduled for next month, though Trump is not expected to participate.
The low approval rating for Biden shows that he may be on track to serve as a one-term president, with growing opposition that may remove him from office next year.
