Only ten percent of those who approve of the job performance of Congress \u201cstrongly\u201d approve.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers reflect a sizable drop from the 54 percent approval rating Congress saw in June 2021. However, the Democrat-led House and Senate have been keenly focused with passing a multitrillion-dollar spending package, which the American people do not support, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/29\/majority-oppose-bidens-radical-build-back-better-plan\/\">fearing<\/a> it could worsen the economy.<\/p>\n<p>The survey noted that Biden\u2019s approval is also struggling, adding that he has \u201cseen almost no bump from the passage the bipartisan infrastructure bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Biden\u2019s approval <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/10\/generic-ballot-poll-americans-support-republicans-over-democrats-record-setting-ten-points\/\">sits<\/a> at 45 percent, down 17-points from the 62 percent approval he saw in June 2021 \u2014 the same time Congress enjoyed a net-positive approval rating.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18211282\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"37\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18211282\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Biden-Pelosi.jpeg\" alt=\"President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) depart after a House Democratic Caucus meeting on Capitol Hill, October 1, 2021, in Washington, DC.

The same survey found 52 percent indicating that getting the jab should be a personal choice \u2014 not a government mandate.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, this week, two Senate Democrats, Sens.

However, it faces an uncertain future in the Democrat-led House, although Rep.
