The president's current approval rating is down a point from 37 percent last month, according to the poll. Disapproval with his job performance also ticked up slightly to 53 percent from 52 percent in October.
Biden gets his worst reviews on his handling of the economy and foreign policy, with 34 percent and 33 percent approving, respectively. Fifty-nine percent of respondents say they disapprove of his handling of the economy, while 55 percent disapprove of his performance on foreign policy.
Just 37 percent of respondents say the president has good leadership skills, compared to 57 percent who believe he does not. And a slight majority — 51 percent — say they do not believe the president is honest, while 42 percent say he is.
Respondents are divided, 47 percent to 47 percent, on whether they believe Biden cares about average Americans.
When it comes to Biden's response to the coronavirus pandemic, 45 percent of Americans say they approve of his performance, while 50 percent disapprove. Likewise, 41 percent give him positive marks on climate change compared to 48 percent who disapprove.
The latest numbers from Quinnipiac's national poll offer a gloomy outlook for Democrats, who are preparing to defend their slim House and Senate majorities in 2022.
The party was already expected to face historical headwinds heading into the midterm elections. Biden's sliding approval rating, however, adds to mounting evidence that Americans may be poised to deliver an electoral blow to Democratic control in Washington next year.
To be sure, there's still nearly a year to go before the 2022 elections, giving Biden and his party time to make up ground. They're hoping that a recently passed $1 trillion infrastructure bill, along with a still-pending $1.75 trillion social policy and climate change bill, will give them a much-needed boost.
The Quinnipiac poll shows that those bills are more popular than not among Americans. Fifty-seven percent of respondents say they support the infrastructure bill, while 37 percent do not. Likewise, 58 percent back the larger spending bill compared to 38 percent who oppose it.
The Quinnipiac University poll surveyed 1,378 U.S. adults, including 1,262 registered voters, from Nov. 11-15. It has a margin of error of 2.6 percentage points for the full sample of U.S. adults, and 2.8 percentage points for the sample of registered voters.

Well look at that. Two more point drop and he ties with Trump's lowest. And he is in less than a year.
LMAO
Looks like a tsunami coming next November for the Democratic Party.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Pelosi retire when she loses her Speaker position.
And the Squad will try to take over the party, pushing it ever leftward.
Titanic Joe
I'm sure you will have some liberals come in with different polls that have different results. Myself I don't pay much attention to polls anymore. The only one that matters is the one they take the first Tuesday in November every other year...
But I do expect to see a lot of new faces in Congress... Sure do wish a lot more of those long-term politicians would get booted.
The beat goes on..
Winning the Georgia run off might have been the worst thing that happened to Biden's Presidency. The reality of divided government might have given Biden the spine to stand up to left wing crazies and attempt to steer a moderate course in line with the reality of the 2020 election. Instead, he went full AOC and tried to govern like if was 1965 and Democrats had massive majorities in both houses. The country pretty much voted down the middle and there was never a mandate for left wing extremism.
Biden's approval has dipped since Congress passed the Infrastructure bill, which people generally like. Imagine what will happen if they pass the reconciliation bill that's little more than a tax cut for the rich and more kindling for the inflation fire?
How can 36% of our great country be so utterly freaking stupid?
Along with that, Ms Harris's numbers are reaching for 25%.... subterranean levels.... {chuckle}
