Americans have given President Joe Biden a dismal rating on his handling of crime amid a surge in violence across the country, a new poll has found.
The ABC News/Washington Post poll released on Friday morning shows just 38 per cent of the public approve of how he is dealing with the spike in crime and 48 percent disapprove.
Murder rates in major cities have risen by 30 percent in the last year and shootings have spiked by 8 percent.

A 59 percent majority of Americans believe crime is an 'extremely' or 'very' serious problem in the U.S., an increase from 51 percent in a Gallup poll released last fall, which was the highest rate since 2007.
The poll found 55 percent of Americans say increasing funding for law enforcement would reduce violent crime.
It comes just a week after Biden announced his bid to crackdown on crime by targeting gun dealers.
