Joe Biden’s approval rating just hit an all-time low, according to a newly released poll.
His approval rating has dropped 20 points since he gained office, according to a Monmouth University poll.
When he entered office, Biden had a net approval rating of +24.
However, he now sits at just +4, according to the poll.
This is an all-time low for Biden, pairing off with a Rasmussen Reports poll released Wednesday.

Daily Caller reports:
Monmouth’s poll shows a consistent drop in popularity for Biden each month since January, though he lost only a single point from June to July. It had a maximum margin of error of +/- 3.5.
Biden’s policies, however, enjoy a better perception than the president himself. His American Jobs Plan, described in the poll as an infrastructure bill focusing on “roads, bridges and trains, internet access, power grid improvements, and clean energy projects,” sits at a 71% approval rating.
The poll was conducted days before Republicans in the Senate came to an agreement with the Democrats and the White House on a $1 trillion infrastructure bill.

TRENDING 👇 Biden Offering Money to Americans Who Get Vaccinated
The Biden administration appears to be desperate.
Biden asked state and local governments to use funds from his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan to offer $100 payments to individuals in order to incentivize coronavirus vaccinations, The Hill reports.
The Treasury Department said, “Treasury stands ready to give technical assistance to state and local governments so that they may use the funds effectively to support increased vaccination in their communities, and Treasury will partner with the Department of Health and Human Services throughout this effort.”
Biden said at the White House, “I know that paying people to get vaccinated might sound unfair to folks that have gotten vaccinated already but here’s the deal: if incentives help us beat this virus, I believe we should use them…. We all benefit if we can get more people vaccinated,” Biden added.
More from The Hill:
The $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief law, which Biden signed in March, included $350 billion in funding to assist state, territorial and local governments in battling the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic… The Treasury Department clarified in May that governments that receive funds could use them for vaccine incentive programs. Several states and private businesses have already offered vaccine incentives in the form of lotteries and free food and other goods.
The announcement represents the latest strategy by the Biden administration to incentivize vaccines amid the spread of the more contagious delta variant… Almost 70 percent of U.S. adults have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, but vaccination rates have leveled off in recent weeks, and the percentage of people who are vaccinated in some areas of the country remains low.
