From a Quinnipiac University Poll, the new numbers show a level of frustration among voters with the party in power as the country plans for next year's midterm election.
Only 36 percent of the poll approved of President Biden's job, while 53 percent disapproved. It's the lowest job approval rating he's gotten in a Quinnipiac University poll.
According to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Biden's approval rating has been on a downward slope in November. A CNN poll at the start of the month had his support rating at 45 percent.

In the Quinnipiac poll, 46 percent said they want to see Republicans win control of the House - compared to 38 percent who want Democrats -- and 46 percent want the GOP in charge of the Senate, opposed to 40 percent who support Democrats.
Independent voters, who usually decide matters in elections, also want to see Republicans in command of Congress: 41 percent to 31 percent for the House and 44 percent to 34 percent for the Senate.

The Senate is an even 50-50 split, but most of the competitive races are in states Biden carried in the 2020 election, which is keeping Democratic hopes up.
But their loss in Virginia's gubernatorial campaign this month - where Democrat Terry McAuliffe fell to Republican Glenn Youngkin - has given Republicans hope that they can take control of Congress next year. Biden won Virginia with 10 points in 2020.

Republicans hadn't won statewide in Virginia since 2009. That year Bob McDonnell was able to capitalize on a backlash against Barack Obama's presidential win to take the state. His victory preceded a GOP wave that gave Republicans control of the House in the 2010 midterms.

Youngkin won with a surge of support from white women and, more critically, the suburban areas that tend to decide elections. Youngkin carried the suburbs 53% to McAuliffe's 47%. In 2020, Biden moved those same suburbs 53% to Donald Trump's 45%.
