According to reports, the poll said that 54% of Americans are dissatisfied with Biden's governing performance.
His approval rating fell 3 points from the previous week.
Respondents in the latest poll said the economy was their top concern, followed by war and conflict abroad.
According to Reuters, Biden’s approval rating began to decline in mid-August last year, when the death toll from the new crown was climbing and the US military faced the chaos of withdrawing from Afghanistan.
Moreover, the bipartisan divide has intensified during the Trump presidency.
And the latest polls show that Biden's efforts to "cool down" politics have failed.
77% of Democratic voters are satisfied with Biden's performance in office, while only 10% of Republicans and 27% of independents rate him positively.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll was completed March 21-22, 2022, with 1,005 adults surveyed, with a confidence interval of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
