The latest NPR/PBS News Hour/Marist poll confirms that Democratic voters are no longer raging against their political reality.

That poll, which had found Joe Biden trudging along with an anemic job-approval rating of just 36 percent among U.S. adults in July, showed Biden surging to 46 percent approval today. The president enjoys even higher marks among registered voters: 49 percent, a near majority. But with independent voters still unenthusiastic about the president’s conduct in office, much of Biden’s rebound is owed to a change of heart among Democratic partisans.
