Yes, even worse than Jimmy Carter after three years. Believe it or not, the previous worst mark was none other than Barack Hussein Obama at 43% after year 3.. Even Trump, at 45% had better approval ratings, despite the media’s 24/7 slander after three years than the last two communists for president. Jimmy Carter after three years actually had a 54% approval at the end of 1979.
Looking at the approval ratings of the past seven presidents at the same point in their first term in office, Biden’s current 39% is the lowest. Barack Obama (43%) and Donald Trump (45%) had slightly higher ratings heading into the year they sought reelection, while all of the others were above 50%.
Job approval ratings of Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush were 51%, and Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter stood at 54%. Buoyed by the mid-December capture of Saddam Hussein in 2003, George W. Bush had the highest approval rating of the eight presidents (58%).
