Congress’s passage of $550 billion was supposed to help boost Biden’s poll numbers, but his net approval rating has actually dropped nearly five points since the House sent the infrastructure bill to Biden’s desk:
New low: 41.2%.
On November 5, the day infrastructure passed, Biden's net approval rating was -7.5 (43.1/50.6). Today it's -12.0 (41.2/53.2). https://t.co/Qq6Vf51qST pic.twitter.com/O1Dv9nWI5P

How is a $2 trillion bill that includes unpopular provisions — from tax hikes and higher child-care costs for the middle class to tax cuts for the rich — going to help Biden while Americans are worried about inflation?
