President Biden is currently standing at a 52% approval rating as he comes close to completing his 100th day in the White House office.
Statistics reveal how this is the third lowest from any of the Presidents of the past, ever since the concept of tracking first began in the year 1945.
Joe Biden’s approval still stands at only 10 points greater than what Donald Trump was on his 100th day. However, Donald Trump continues to lead the pack when it comes to scoring the lowest of all the presidents of the US in history with a record-breaking 42%.
Reports confirmed how there are only two other presidents from the last 70 years who had a ranking of approval that was lesser than Joe Biden’s. And they include Donald Trump and Gerald Ford. But every other president since the year 1945 managed to break the mega 50% or even surpassed it too.
According to a recent poll conducted by the Washington Post-ABC News, only half of the American adult population spoke about approving the president’s job so far. Amongst those, 34% mentioned how strongly they approve while 18% hold the opinion of approving his presidency somewhat.
Clearly, these ratings have been shown to show a growing partisan division with an overall plunge in approval since the last two decades when compared to others of the millennium.
In 1945, Harry Truman managed to secure a staggering rating of 87% approval when it came down to his 100th day in the president’s office. Meanwhile, John F. Kennedy also sat at 83% in the year 1961.
In 1981, Ronald Reagan came out with a shocking 73% approval for the year 1981. And since then, no other president’s approval rating has ever gone higher. Meanwhile, Barack Obama managed to secure a value that was somewhat close with 69%.
Therefore, it can be concluded that President Joe Biden continues to straddle a thin line currently with his many attempts to please the Democrats’ establishment.
