Biden Holds Worst Net Approval Rating for a President in U.S. History at This Time in Office

As President Joe Biden enters his last year (hopefully forever) in office, he is going into 2024 as one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. 

With 1,080 days under his belt in office, the 81-year-old president has a net approval rating of -17.2 points, compared to former President Trump, who had -11.8 points during his presidency. 

Biden’s approval rating stands in the mid-thirties, while his disapproval rating is in the mid-fifties— spelling bad news for the president’s 2024 re-election chances. 

Biden’s popularity never recovered after he directed the deadly Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021. Soaring inflation after massive post-pandemic spending, low consumer sentiment, and draconian coronavirus mandates kept his approval numbers poor throughout 2022 and 2023. As Biden looks to rebound heading into 2024, he will need to dramatically reverse course to improve his popularity.— Breitbart News. 

As Biden’s popularity continues to take a nose dive, White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients invited hundreds of executive office staffers to a party intended to boost morale as the president’s re-election chances look bleak. 

According to Axios, Zients— Biden’s wealthiest aide— is throwing the party, which will be held at a private venue in Northern Virginia later this month.

A Gallup poll found that just 39 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s job performance in the Oval Office. At the same time, his support among black voters has sunk to a mere 63 percent. 

In comparison, in 2020, black voters overwhelmingly supported Biden over Trump by a 92-8 percent margin. 

“And if he can’t get his approval ratings up — and quick — then he and the Democratic Party need to have a serious conversation about replacing him on the Democratic ticket in the 2024 presidential race,” Madison Hall wrote in December at Business Insider.
