Biden is complaining to close aides as his low approval rating continues to frustrate him and first lady Jill Biden, according to a new media report.

“After pardoning a pair of turkeys, an annual White House tradition, Biden delivered some stern words for the small group assembled: His poll numbers were unacceptably low, and he wanted to know what his team and his campaign were doing about it,” The Washington Post reported.

“He complained that his economic message had done little to move the ball, even as the economy was growing and unemployment was falling, according to people familiar with his comments, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation,” according to the Post, whose headline noted Biden’s “dismal poll numbers.”

The Biden family’s complaints date back months, with the president and the first lady telling “aides and friends that they are frustrated by the president’s low approval rating and the polls that show him trailing former President Donald Trump,” the report continued.
