The survey found that just one in four voters (24%) think the country is moving in the right direction – a key question in the run-up to a national election – and more than twice as many voters said that Biden’s policies had personally hurt them than those who said they had helped.

Of the two-thirds of the country that feels the nation is headed in the wrong direction, the poll found that 63% said they would vote for Trump.

In the Bloomberg survey, a large share of the respondents voiced concerns with Biden’s age and a significant percentage said Trump was dangerous, and suggested the number of “double haters”, as pollsters call voters who approve of neither candidate, is significant.

    Am I the only one who hates double negatives like this? Wouldn’t the title be much easier to understand if it was “Joe Bidens approval rating reaches new low”

      I don’t know this the case for whichever poll this is based on, but disapproval and approval aren’t necessarily complementary.
