Joe Biden Just Set a New Record Previously Held by Harry S. Truman
In June, Joe Biden reached the point where he had the lowest approval rating in all of the history of modern polling. This month saw an even steeper fall in his popularity than the previous.
According to the average of FiveThirtyEight’s polls, approximately sixty percent of American citizens do not approve of the Joe Biden. Only 38 percent of Americans said that they had a favorable opinion of Joe Biden. Since the beginning of this month, when he first became the most unpopular commander in chief in recorded history, Joe Biden’s disapproval rating has increased, while his approval rating has decreased by a few points. Those who are still looking at him favorably are just demented and probably don’t even pay attention to politics to know what’s going on. Nobody in their right mind could possibly argue that he’s doing a good job with the country in shambles the way that it currently is.
Inflation that is out of control and the poor condition of the nation’s economy are both being blamed on Biden by voters. The record low approval rating of Biden could be problematic for Democrats in the run-up to the upcoming midterm elections. Even among Democrats and minorities, there is evidence to suggest that they are turning against the ailing president (if you can call him that).
Gallup’s surveys were the beginning of the modern era of presidential approval polling, which began during the administration of Harry S. Truman. In the nearly 80 years that we have been collecting data on public opinion, Biden has the lowest approval rating of any president.
When looking at a president’s overall approval rating, which is their approval rating minus their disapproval rating, the picture doesn’t look much better for Biden. Biden’s current approval rating, which now stands at -19 percent, is equal for the lowest of all presidents with Harry S. Truman.
