NBC anchor Chuck Todd said Sunday that President Biden was in trouble with the American electorate following the release of a new NBC poll last week showing dismal approval ratings to kick off the midterm election year.
During the opening segment on "Meet the Press," Todd, citing the poll, declared Biden's 43% approval rating showed he'd "lost his identity," and was "no longer seen as competent and effective" in the eyes of voters, spelling a potential "shellacking" for Democrats in November.

"President Biden’s news conference on Wednesday was designed to kick off a second year reset of his presidency, recapture his political identity, if you will, but our new NBC News poll suggests Mr. Biden does need a reset because he's lost his identity a bit," Todd said, referring to Biden's heavily panned Wednesday press conference that lasted nearly two hours.
"He's no longer seen as competent and effective, no longer seen as a good commander-in-chief, or perhaps most damaging, as easy-going and likable. In fact, just 5% of adults say Mr. Biden has performed better than expected as president, one of the many lowest firsts and fewest in our poll," he added.
