Biden approval dips near lowest point: AP-NORC poll

  • By JOSH BOAK and EMILY SWANSON Associated Press

Approval of President Joe Biden has dipped slightly since a month ago to 38%. That's nearly the lowest point of his presidency, and comes as his administration tries to project a sense of stability while confronting a pair of bank failures and stubbornly high inflation. The new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows there have been modest fluctuations in support for Biden over the past several months. In February, 45% said they approved of him. His ratings hit their lowest point of his presidency last July, at 36%, as the full weight of rising gasoline, food and other costs began to hit U.S. households.

Zebra runs loose in Seoul before being taken back to zoo

  • 0

A young zebra walked, trotted, and galloped for hours in the busy streets of South Korea’s capital before emergency workers tranquilized the animal and brought it back to a zoo. Choi Ye-ra, an official at the Children’s Grand Park in Seoul, said the 2-year-old male zebra was in stable condition and being examined by veterinarians. She said the zoo was investigating how the zebra managed to escape. She didn’t immediately confirm media reports that the animal partially destroyed the wooden fencing surrounding its pen before busting out at 2:50 p.m. There were no immediate reports of injuries caused by the incident.
