Biden Faces Carter-esque Approval Ratings Amidst Dismal Poll Numbers

President Biden’s approval ratings have dipped to 38%, just above his all-time low, with a significant portion of Americans disapproving of his performance.

Megan Brenan from Gallup noted, “Biden’s overall job rating has slipped to 38%, and his ratings on immigration, the Israel-Hamas situation, foreign affairs and the economy are even lower.” This decline places Biden’s ratings in line with those of past one-term presidents like Jimmy Carter, who averaged a record-low 37.4% approval after his third year in office, Fox News Digital reports.

The disapproval rate for Biden’s handling of major issues, especially immigration, is notable. Only 28% of respondents approve of his immigration policies, while 67% disapprove. Similarly, a majority disapprove of his approach to foreign affairs, particularly amid the Israel-Hamas conflict and the war in Ukraine. Brenan pointed out that Biden’s approval rating has remained below 44% since August 2021, with his third-year average being the second lowest among post-World War II presidents in their first term.

However, there is a slight uptick in approval regarding the economy, attributed to factors like low unemployment and stabilizing inflation. Biden’s approval on the economy increased by four points to 36%, with independents moving six points in his direction to 30% approval.

Despite some positive indicators, Biden faces challenges in regaining support, particularly among Democrats, on issues like immigration and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While about three-quarters of Democrats approve of his handling of the economy, fewer rate him positively on immigration and foreign affairs. Overall, his approval among Democrats stands at 82%, lower than during his early months in office.

Republicans rate Biden poorly on immigration (3% approval) and the economy (4% approval), while independents’ views remain largely unchanged. The Gallup survey, conducted via telephone interviews from February 1-20 with a random sample of 1,016 American adults, has a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.
