WASHINGTON, D.C. -- During President Joe Biden’s third full year in office, spanning Jan. 20, 2023, to Jan. 19, 2024, an average of 39.8% of Americans approved of his job performance. Among prior presidents in the Gallup polling era who were elected to their first term, only Jimmy Carter fared worse in his third year. Carter averaged 37.4% approval in a year in which gas prices soared, inflation reached double digits and Iranian militants took U.S. citizens hostage.
Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon also had sub-50% third-year averages. Dwight Eisenhower’s 72.1% is the highest for a third-year president. https://news.gallup.com/poll/609188/biden-third-year-job-approval-average-second-worst.aspx |
| Wow, that is truly abysmal. |
| It’s really gonna throw the pundits for a loop when he’s reelected next year. |
The way it threw them when Trump was elected? |
| As per DCUM Democrats Biden is doing a great job (crime is down! Economy is great! No inflation! Border is totes fine!) and only deplorables vote for Trump anyhow so we have no reason to worry about the election. |

Yep. The echo chamber here is always entertaining. As is the gaslighting. |
The same pundits who kept assuring us that we’d be in a recession right now. |
It’s going to be fun watching you cry in November. |
| What would Trump’s approval rating be if the nation were polled right now? |

Tell me again about the red wave, grandpa. The one that began in Guam? |
Yeah. Whatever |
Taking all bets, that will not happen. |

No one knows what will happen in November. Polls all show a slight Trump lead over Biden. And all polls show horrendous polling for Biden on key metrics like economy and border, among others. It's clear the only thing saving Biden is Trump. But then again Trump is leading in the polls, something he never did in 2020.
We'll see what happens. |
