Joe Biden has been president for a little over a year. And that year was not kind to him
More than half -- 56% -- of Americans said that Biden's first year in office was a "failure," while just 39% described it as a success
The news doesn't get better the more you dig into the survey. Two-thirds of independents said Biden's first year was a failure, while more than 9 in 10 Republicans (91%) agreed with that assessment
Biden's numbers are better among Democrats -- 80% called year one a success -- but 15% of members of his own party described his first year in office as a failure
Oftentimes, a president is judged in one way during his time in office and in another after he leaves, once the impacts of his policies come into clearer focus
