Joe Biden's Approval Hail Mary Lands Harmlessly in the Endzone

Joe Biden’s presidency is not going well. That much has been apparent since at least the mid-summer. The incompetence shown during the withdrawal of Afghanistan, which left 13 Americans dead, seemed to be the turning point, though. Since then, Biden has been saddled with some of the lowest approval ratings for a first-term president in modern history.
As RedState reported, the president hit only 37 percent approval in a recent Civiqs survey. USA Today also found Biden at a middling 38 percent just days ago.
When asked for an explanation, the administration has stuck to two excuses. One, that the media are suppressing their record of greatness by not explaining things well. In other words, they just have a “messaging” problem. And two, that Americans are actually upset because Biden hasn’t gotten his agenda through, not because of the results of his policies. That claim extended to the Virginia governor’s race, where some asserted that Terry McAuliffe would have beaten Glenn Youngkin had the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed Congress prior to the election.
So do those excuses hold water? Well, on November, 5th, the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed with the help of some really politically braindead Republicans. What’s happened since then?
Waiting for the BIF bump… Infrastructure passed Friday (11/5). 2 of the 3 polls conducted fully post BIF show Biden's approval rating going DOWN. As of right now, he's back to his all-time low of 42.2%. https://t.co/Qq6Vf51qST pic.twitter.com/CkcaeG1oiN
