US president Joe Biden's popularity slipped this month to its lowest level since April, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed. The data raises concerns about the Democrat's re-election bid next year. The two-day opinion poll showed 39% of respondents approved of Joe Biden's performance as president which matches April's reading but is down marginally from 40% in October and 42% in September. Although, the poll which gathered responses online from 1,019 adults using a nationally representative sample, had a margin of error of about three percentage points.
