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.

"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.

"But as you can see, two of our three most important indexes is sitting in shellacking territory right for the Democrats. This is a dangerous place for the party and the president to be at the one-year mark of this presidency," he said.
