President Joe Biden’s average approval rating is lower than any other modern U.S. president at the same point in their term, according to data released Friday by Gallup.

President Joe Biden averaged 38.7% job approval during his recently completed 13th quarter in office.

President Biden averaged 38.7 percent job approval during his recently completed 13th quarter in the White House, which ran from Jan. 20 to April 19, Gallup found.

Biden has a lower 13th quarter approval rating average than all nine presidents elected to their first term since Dwight D. Eisenhower, according to Gallup.

During the same time period in their respective presidential terms, President Trump had an average approval rating of 46.8 percent, President Obama’s was 45.9 percent and George W. Bush’s 51 percent.

President George H. W. Bush had the second-lowest average approval ratings to Biden during his 13th quarter in office during early 1992, at 41.8 percent, Gallup reported.

In their most recent poll, Gallup found that President Biden’s approval rating remained essential unchanged in April (38 percent) from his March (40 percent) and February (38 percent) ratings — down from a peak approval rating of 56 percent upon his taking office.

While the poll showed a vast majority of Democrats — 83 percent — still rate Biden’s job performance positively, the president gets barely any approval from Republicans (just 2 percent), and his ratings among independents is also low, at 33 percent.

A 38.7% approval rating for OBiden can only be that high for three reasons. His supporters are:

  1. benefitting financially with scams such as climate change or crony capitalism;
  2. only getting their news from the lamestream Marxist media;
  3. dumb as a bag of rocks.

Pick one.

38.7%, I am amazed that there are so many people feeding at the trough of public money. We were very close to the Federal Government controlling ever aspect of our lives, we are fast becoming subjects, not citizens.

It should be a lot lower. Methinks the numbers are being fudged.

…’muh polls’ are garbage! Believe none of them for either candidate. If they actually posted Joe-tato’s real numbers they would be down in the 18-25% range. His numbers have always been inflated and have never gone below the 38% average since the sock puppet has been in office.
