President Biden's latest poll numbers are some of his worst yet.

According to the latest Quinnipiac University poll, President Biden
has just received his lowest approval rating on his job performance
since his inauguration. The approval rating of just 38% is down from
42% during the previous poll three weeks ago.

As far as the partisan breakdown, a whopping 94% of Republicans
disapprove of the job President Biden is doing, while 60% of
independents disapprove. However, Democrats are still largely
satisfied with Biden's job performance, with 80% approval.

Per the press release put out by QU, Biden received double-digit
negative scores in all but one key issue when Americans were asked
about his handling of:

    The response to the coronavirus: 48 percent approve, while 50
percent disapprove
    The economy: 39 percent approve, while 55 percent disapprove
    His job as Commander in Chief of the U.S. military: 37 percent
approve, while 58 percent disapprove;
    Taxes: 37 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove
    Foreign policy: 34 percent approve, while 58 percent disapprove
    Immigration issues: 25 percent approve, while 67 percent disapprove
    The situation at the Mexican border: 23 percent approve, while 67
percent disapprove

And when it comes to character traits, fewer than half of respondents
said they believed Biden was "honest".

    Cares about average Americans: 49 percent say yes, while 48
percent say no, compared to 58 - 37 percent yes in April
    Is honest: 44 percent say yes, while 50 percent say no, compared
to 51 - 42 percent yes in April
    Has good leadership skills: 41 percent say yes, while 56 percent
say no, compared to 52 - 44 percent yes in April

Meanwhile, more than half of respondents (55%) said they believe the
Biden Administration is not competent at running the government.

    "Battered on trust, doubted on leadership, and challenged on
overall competency, President Biden is being hammered on all sides as
his approval rating continues its downward slide to a number not seen
since the tough scrutiny of the Trump administration," said QU analyst
Tim Malloy.

On the subject of Afghanistan, only 3 in 10 respondents said they
think the US did "the right thing" by withdrawing all troops from
Afghanistan, while 50% think the US should have withdrawn some, but
not all, troops.

    "Though the troops are gone, America's longest war still gnaws at
the country. Weary of the seemingly endless conflict but wary of what
was left behind, the majority of people still see boots on the ground
as the firewall between a country in the grip of Western hating
factions and the rest of the world,"

And he also received remarkably low marks on the economy, which was
always a strong point for Biden's chief political rival, former
President Trump.

    Roughly one-quarter of Americans (28 percent) say they are either
very satisfied (5 percent) or somewhat satisfied (23 percent) with the
way things are going in the nation today. Close to three-quarters (72
percent) of Americans say they are either somewhat dissatisfied (24
percent) or very dissatisfied (48 percent) with the way things are
going in the nation today. Those levels are largely unchanged from
September.

Somehow, we suspect the Democrats' latest can-kick in Congress won't help
