The current average approval rating for President Joe Biden marks the lowest point not only for his own term but for the previous nine presidencies, according to a new Gallup poll.

Biden averaged at 38.7 percent in the thirteenth quarter of his presidency, a historic new low that supplanted George H.W. Bush’s lowest record of a 41.8 percent average job approval rating, Gallup found in a survey published Friday. The incumbent also fell below his last two predecessors, Donald Trump and Barack Obama, which respectively averaged 46.8 percent and 45.9 percent at the same point in their first terms. The thirteenth quarter recorded for each president since 1956 began January 20 and ended April 19.

The polls lists the average approval ratings of George W. Bush at 51 percent, Bill Clinton at 53 percent, Ronald Reagan at 54.5 percent, Jimmy Carter at 47.7 percent, Richard Nixon at 53.7 percent, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, with the highest rating, at 73.2 percent. Gallup did not record the thirteenth-quarter average job approval ratings for John F. Kennedy, presumably due to his death, and Lyndon B. Johnson, presumably because he finished his predecessor’s term before getting elected.

Biden’s latest quarterly average dropped slightly from his previous low of 39 percent, down 17 percentage points from the record high measured during his first three months as president. His current rating is nearly identical to Gallup’s April poll, in which 38 percent of voters approve of Biden’s job performance. Similarly, he polled at 40 percent in March and 38 percent in February.

“With about six months remaining before Election Day, Biden stands in a weaker position than any prior incumbent,” Gallup said, “and thus faces a taller task than they did in getting reelected.”

The pollster notes factors, including the Israel-Hamas war and border crisis, have influenced the 81-year-old president’s dismal ratings. Additionally, increasing inflation and the faltering stock market each play a role in voters’ overall perception of Biden.

When taking party affiliation into account, the vast majority of Republican and independent voters disapprove of Biden’s job performance. Only 2 percent of Republicans and 33 percent of independents approve of the president. By contrast, 83 percent of Democrats continue to back their party’s presumptive nominee.
