Americans express these views as President Joe Biden\u2019s job approval rating remains upside down, and his ratings on the economy and the crisis in Ukraine take on water.\u201d NPR\/Marist surveyed 1,162 registered voters and has a margin of error of 3.7 points. The poll was released on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Polling also revealed that independents favor Republicans by 7 points on a generic congressional ballot. 45% of independents said they would support Republicans while only 38% would support Democrats.
