https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/joe-biden-s-approval-rating-falls-to-all-time-low/ar-AA1o2d65?ocid=BingNewsSerp''Biden's 38.7 percent average approval rating in the 13th quarter is lower than any of the previous nine U.S. presidents whose first term coincided with the same period, dating back to Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953.
Biden's most recent quarterly average approval rating is down slightly from the previous quarter's score of 39.0 percent and 40 percent in the 11th quarter.
The falling average approval rating for Biden arrived after seeing a near all-time low of 38 percent in the most recent Gallup poll, conducted April 1-22. The lowest rating Biden has recorded in Gallup polls was 37 percent in April 2023.
The low average approval rating in the 13th quarter arrived as the president has received frequent criticism for his response to Israel's war in Gaza. The latest quarter has coincided with pro-Palestinian protests starting at New York's Columbia University breaking out across the nation.
"In this election year, when Biden is hoping U.S. voters reward him with a second term, he is needing some positive momentum to put him in a stronger position to be reelected. However, that didn't occur during the past three months, with Americans no more positive about how Biden is doing his job than they were in his prior quarter, or for most of the past three years," Gallup senior editor Jeffrey M. Jones wrote while sharing the polling group's latest results.
"This is the case even after Biden delivered his election-year State of the Union speech in March, a chance for him to sell his accomplishments directly to the American people.
"With about six months remaining before Election Day, Biden stands in a weaker position than any prior incumbent, and thus faces a taller task than they did in getting reelected."
