Biden's Latest Approval Rating Breaks Historical Records

Well folks, it’s official.

We didn’t think he could pull it off but he surprised us all.

Biden is number #1!

The President with the #1 worst approvals rating, that is. (Though technically, we all know he’s not President.)

Going back nearly 70 years to President Eisenhower, and comparing the approval ratings of ten modern presidents, Biden takes last place.

And it appears he’s the first one to get approval rating in the 30% range.

Joe Biden now has the LOWEST APPROVAL RATING of any modern president during the same time in office.

So, 84 million votes next election? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/nreInFsdcm

New York Post reports:

It’s a low blow for Joe.

Joe Biden is the least popular commander in chief at this point of his presidency in the last 70 years, below even Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, according to a blistering new poll — imperiling his chances of re-election.

Biden, 81, notched a dismal 38.7% job approval rating for the first quarter of 2024, the venerable Gallup Poll found in a survey released Friday, three points lower than that of the one-term George H.W. Bush at the same point in his presidency.

“With about six months remaining before Election Day, Biden stands in a weaker position than any prior incumbent,” the pollsters concluded.

In contrast, former President Donald Trump, who is vying with Biden for a second White House term, had a 46.8% approval rating at this point in his presidency.

Even Nixon and Carter had higher ratings than Biden, with 53.7% and 47.7%, respectively, and Eisenhower had the highest rating at 73.2%, according to the poll.

The results of Gallup’s presidential approval polls, which the organization has compiled since the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower began in 1952, have been strongly predictive of re-election success.

Historically, every incumbent in the past seven decades with an approval rating above 50% has won a second term. Only Barack Obama bucked the trend: his 2012 victory came despite a middling 46% approval six months ahead of that year’s general election.

No first-term president in Gallup’s history has returned to the White House with approval numbers as low as Biden’s — whose results this quarter ranked among the worst of the post-World War II era, in the bottom 12% of all presidential quarters going back to 1945.

Biden’s historic low compared to other US presidents

President Biden’s approval rating 39 months into his presidency is the lowest of any elected chief executive in modern American history, according to Gallup.

Dwight D. Eisenhower (1956): 73.2%

Ronald Reagan (1984): 54.5%

Richard Nixon (1972): 53.7%

Bill Clinton (1996): 53.0%

George W. Bush (2004): 51.0%

Jimmy Carter (1980): 47.7%

Donald Trump (2020): 46.8%

Barack Obama (2012): 45.9%

George H.W. Bush (1992): 41.8%

Joe Biden (2024): 38.7%

I wonder why people don’t like this guy?

Did he mismanage government money?

I don’t think so. He was handing out cash to his people like they won the lottery.

He’s just a giver at heart.

Oh wait, that was our tax money he was giving away.

Here’s a list of the 2 trillion dollars he gave away:

Biden’s Executive Actions have cost taxpayers over $2 trillion.

The cherry on top is that all of these were enacted WITHOUT congressional approval. pic.twitter.com/q5Syz8ooDv
