• President Joe Biden’s approval rating among independents has reached an “all-time low” in one survey just before the midterm elections.
• The survey, from NBC News, did provide some good news for Democrats, finding that they had caught up in enthusiasm for midterm voting with Republican respondents. However, on the president’s performance, ratings were decidedly sour, especially among men at 38%, white voters at 37%, rural voters at 29%, and, lowest of all, independents at 28%.
• “Biden’s job approval rating sits at 44% in this final NBC News poll. By the way, all-time low with independents. His approval rating is just 28%. And let me put this in context for you.

Some people believe it’s the single most important indicator to understand where a midterm election is going,” moderator Chuck Todd said on Sunday’s episode of Meet the Press.
