This is the largest gap to President Trump's job approval rating at this point in their terms...

Interestingly, as MorningConsult.com reports, Biden's diminishing standing should be alarming to Democrats working to hold control of Congress in the midterm elections this fall.

While Biden's decline has not yet dragged down approval for most Democratic incumbents on the Senate side of the aisle, studies have shown an increasing association between a party's House performance and their president's job approval rating.

Perhaps that is why, as The Epoch Times' Katabella Roberts reports, a number of key staff members of the White House press office have left their roles in the past week amid reports of tensions behind the scenes.

Mike Gwin, who has been the White House rapid response director since January 2021, will depart to become the deputy assistant secretary for public affairs at the Treasury Department, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced on Tuesday.

"On a sad note, our dear friend and colleague, Michael Gwin, will be leaving us for Treasury, where he will serve as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs," Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing while praising Gwin for "responding to the most challenging and difficult issues imaginable" during his time in the press office.

"Yet, amidst these often emotionally-wrenching stories, Gwin's poise and moral clarity are unfailing, and his willingness and ability to step up has made him an indispensable member of the team," she continued.

White House press assistant Michael Kikukawa is also leaving to serve in public affairs at the U.S. Treasury, Jean-Pierre confirmed.
