"Well, tonight, President Biden's approval rating has hit a new low. A Gallup poll finds 43% of Americans approve of the job he's doing and 53% do not. Only President Trump had a lower approval rating at a similar point in his presidency. And tonight, some of Mr. Biden's most ambitious plans are facing opposition. \nCBS's Ed O'Keefe is at the White House. So Ed, I just want to go through this, because there were some big developments today. First, is the centerpiece of the president's ambitious legislative agenda now on life support? \nIt very well could be, Norah, which is why he held separate meetings today with members of his party who are feuding about the details. First moderates, led by guys like West Virginia's Joe Manchin, who are concerned about the size and scope of the proposed $3.5 trillion budget plan. Then he met separately with progressives, like Bernie Sanders, who want as big a deal as possible to address big concerns like tackling climate change or affordable health care. But the president eagerly trying to bring them together, given the slim margins his party faces in the House and Senate. \nAnd then, of course, the president's other top priority, Ed, was police reform in the wake of the George Floyd murder. There had been some Republicans that were willing to help out on that. Why did that fall apart today? \nYeah, a major setback for him, because he had called on Congress to get this done by the anniversary of George Floyd's death back in May. Democrats say Republicans backed out of the talks, which were supported by police unions, over issues like greater federal control or oversight of police forces. Republicans pushing instead to allow local officials to keep an eye on police forces. The president said he'll continue working with congressional Democrats on the issue and may take new executive action. Norah. \nAll right. Ed O'Keefe, thanks so much. "
