'Brutal Stuff': Biden, Dems Polling Lower After Infrastructure's Passage

Some fresh polling from The Washington Post and ABC News — the first read on Americans' opinions of President Biden and Democrats since infrastructure was passed by the House — has more bad news for the White House and Democrats looking to right their party's ship ahead of the midterms.
When asked whether they approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling his job as president, a majority of Americans — 53 percent — said they disapprove while just 41 percent said they approve. On the economy, 55 percent says they disapprove of Biden's handling while more Americans disapprove than approve of his handling of the Wuhan coronavirus 49 to 47 percent.
As Rebecca covered earlier, the passage of the president's infrastructure legislation — after months of Democrat infighting and multiple delays — should have given Biden a much needed bump in the polls:
As Darragh Roche reported for Newsday on Thursday morning, "Joe Biden's Approval Ratings Set to Bounce Back As Infrastructure Deal Widely Supported."
There's also a slew of emails and tweets from the DNC and the DNC War Room touting the passage of the infrastructure bill and the benefits it will supposedly bring.
Well, if that was what Democrats and sympathetic media expected, the WaPo/ABC News poll is a big "womp womp" for the White House.
