In an unexpected turn of events, President Joe Biden, who garnered a record-breaking 81 million votes in the 2020 election, finds himself grappling with historically low approval ratings, as revealed by a recent Gallup poll.
Surpassing all previous presidents in terms of total votes, Biden’s 13th quarter approval rating stands at a meager 38.7%, marking the lowest in modern history for this stage of a presidency.
Comparatively, at the same juncture in their presidencies, former President Donald Trump held a 46.8% approval rating, Barack Obama stood at 45.9%, and George H.W. Bush garnered 41.8% approval.
This stark decline in popularity raises questions about the factors contributing to Biden’s diminishing approval, despite his electoral triumph. The disparity between his historic vote count and his current approval rating underscores the complex dynamics at play in contemporary American politics.
As Biden navigates the challenges of his presidency, including ongoing crises and policy initiatives, his waning popularity serves as a reminder of the volatility of public opinion and the unpredictable nature of leadership in the modern era.
