President Joe Biden has made history, though certainly not for the purpose he had anticipated. According to the New York Post, over the past 70 years, the president has been less popular than Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon as leaders.
The most recent survey results may be the end for the president. According to the Gallup Poll, Biden’s job approval rating for the first quarter of 2024 was an astounding 38.7 percent. Biden is eighty-one years old.
At this stage in his administration, Biden is three points worse than George H.W. Bush, who served one term.
“With roughly six months before Election Day, Biden stands in a worse position than any past incumbent,” the pollsters stated.
At this stage of his administration, Biden’s approval rating is lower than Trump’s. There were barely six months remaining in Trump’s presidency, and his approval rating was 46.8%.
Gallup said:
“The only previous president to have a sub-50 percent average in his 13th quarter was Jimmy Carter. “With Obama as an exception, three of the four previous presidents with 13th-quarter approval averages under 50% failed in their attempts for reelection.”
“During their 13th quarters, four of the six reelected presidents—Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush—averaged between 51% and 55% approval. “At this point in his presidency, Dwight Eisenhower had the greatest average of any president at 73.2%.”
According to the research, Biden’s most recent average is the lowest of his presidency thus far, however, it is essentially unchanged from the prior quarter, in which he had a 39 percent approval rating.
After his first two quarters in office, Biden’s approval rating fell precipitously. His approval rating remained around 50% over the first two quarters, and it is currently around 40%.
According to Gallup, “the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza persisted throughout the 13th quarter, as did increased numbers of unauthorized border crossings along the southern border of the United States.”
“An effort by senators from both parties to modify immigration was unsuccessful in February. Additionally, there have been indications that inflation may be rising once more even as macroeconomic indicators—particularly job growth—remain favorable. The stock market has fallen in recent weeks.”
However, whether Trump can defeat Biden in the next 2024 presidential contest is still not 100% certain.
