President Biden and congressional Democrats are getting less done in Washington than a plurality of voters expected, according to a new poll.
Meanwhile, a separate poll released this week shows Biden’s approval rating reaching the lowest point of his presidency.

Joe Manchin’s decision not to support the legislation.
