More than 60% of Americans disapprove of President Joe Biden's handling of the war between Israel and Hamas as the conflict continues, according to a new CBS News poll.

The number represents a slide as just 56% of respondents said they disapproved of the president's handling of the conflict in October. Recent polls have shown dwindling approval rates on the White House response to the war.

The new poll comes after negotiations led to a nearly one-week long humanitarian pause between Israel and Hamas earlier in November, but only 20% of Americans said they believe the Biden administration is making a peaceful resolution more likely in the conflict.

Forty-six percent of those surveyed said they believe that the Biden administration has no impact in the path for peace in the Middle East.

When it comes to Biden's support of Israel, 38% of respondents think that Biden is doing too much, which is up from 28% that said the same in October.

While Biden and fellow House Democrats are pushing for the approval of more aid, Senate Republicans have blocked the funds over border demands.
