CBS News analysis: Biden approval has sunk most with young Americans and independents
, helping deliver the White House to Mr. Biden. But now, just 35% of them approve of his overall job handling — a 24-point drop that's twice as large as the change among both Democrats and Republicans since the start of his term.
But independents in particular have weaker political attachments and change their minds more often than partisans. Independents tend to be less ideological and less attuned to day-to-day or even weekly political developments. That said, Biden has seen sagging numbers with other less partisan, less engaged groups.
Those under 30 who disapprove of Biden's job handling are more frustrated by his presidency than before — up 9 points since April, a larger jump than we see among older disapprovers — and six in 10 feel disappointed. Disapprovers under 30 are more likely to identify as liberals than their older, more conservative counterparts and seem to be frustrated by different things.
