Joe Biden dismisses bad polling and says domestic agenda set to pass

• Progressives Sanders and Khanna optimistic on spending plan
• Virginia: governor race becomes referendum on Biden

Joe Biden sought to brush off concerns about bad polling on Sunday, telling reporters he expected Democrats to overcome internal differences and pass both his domestic spending plan and a bipartisan infrastructure deal in the week to come.

Earlier, an NBC News poll found that 54% of US adults disapproved of Biden's performance, down six points since August, a period in which the president's domestic agenda has stalled amid intra-party division.
