In mid-July, Biden was averaging a job approval rating of 52% with 43% disapproving, according to RealClearPolitics. Biden\u2019s nine-point advantage has shrunk to just two points in a matter of weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Americans Give Biden Low Marks On Foreign Policy, Immigration And Crime<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A closer look at Americans\u2019 views on Biden\u2019s performance across major issues underscores his declining popularity with negative ratings on foreign policy, immigration, and crime.
