Joe Biden is now the worst person ever.
His term has been 490 days and his average approval number is at 40.9 per cent. That’s lower than the presidents at that time, which dates back to Harry Truman, 1945. It’s also Biden’s lowest average approval so far. Given that this is going into the midterms, that’s a nightmare for the hopes of the Democrats.
In a data point that is sure to rankle the short-tempered Biden, he’s below what President Donald Trump was at this point in his Presidency, even with all the media constantly beating up on Trump.
Joe Biden 40.9%
Donald Trump, 42.7%
Barack Obama 48%
George W. Bush 72%
Bill Clinton 49.9%
George H.W. Bush 65%
Ronald Reagan 45
Jimmy Carter 43.1%
Gerald Ford 44.22%
Richard Nixon 57.1%
Lyndon B. Johnson, 68.7%
John F. Kennedy 74%
Dwight Eisenhower 61.3%
Harry S. Truman, 43.1%
Biden’s approval in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll also hit the lowest ever in that poll: 36 percent. According to the poll, his numbers have been dropping rapidly. They dropped 6 percent in the past week. So if he thought resorting to calling people “ultra MAGA” was going to be his salvation. Anita Dunn, a Democratic operator, worked six months on this ridiculous tactic. It looks like that isn’t working, like everything else that he does. We could have told them that — not a good idea to build up the brand of your political opponents.
But Biden is not only incredibly low with Republicans and independents, he’s also dropping a lot with Democrats as well.
“Only 10% of Republicans and 28% of independents approve of President Biden, while 72% of Democrats still do. However, among Democrats Biden has seen a 10 point drop from two weeks ago when 82% approved of him, a driving factor for his lower overall approval rating,” said the Ipsos analysis.
Part of the problem is the horrible inflation but it’s also that a ton of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track.
“Seven in 10 (70%) Americans believe things in this country are off on the wrong track, while only one-fifth (20%) of Americans believe they are headed in the right direction. It is six points less than two weeks ago, when only 26% believed they were heading in the right direction. The overwhelming majority of Republicans (90%) and independents (70%) believe things are off on the wrong track, a sentiment that nearly half of Democrats (49%) agree with,” said the pollster.
It’s hard to point to anything that is going well with gas prices and inflation at record highs, the stock market crashing, supply chain problems continuing and violent crime going up. But it’s always the economy when it’s bad that is the overarching issue. Biden spent months denying it and now doesn’t seem to even understand what is causing it or how to address it.
Biden was ironically brought in with all manner of media support. Ipsos notes that he arrived with 60% approval but now has only 59% disapproval. It’s almost a flip.
