WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Joe Biden averaged 38.7% job approval during his recently completed 13th quarter in office, which began on Jan. 20 and ended April 19. None of the other nine presidents elected to their first term since Dwight Eisenhower had a lower 13th-quarter average than Biden.
George H.W. Bush had the previous low 13th-quarter average approval rating, at 41.8% in 1992. Donald Trump and Barack Obama, Biden’s immediate predecessors in office, averaged 46.8% and 45.9% job approval, respectively, at the same point in their presidencies.
Jimmy Carter is the only other president with a sub-50% average in his 13th quarter. Three of the four prior presidents who had 13th-quarter approval averages below 50% lost their reelection bids, with Obama the exception.
Four of the six presidents who were reelected -- Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush -- averaged between 51% and 55% approval during their 13th quarters. Another, Dwight Eisenhower, had the highest average for a president at this stage of his presidency, 73.2%.
From a broader historical perspective, Biden’s most recent quarterly average ranks 277th out of 314 presidential quarters in Gallup records dating to 1945. That puts it in the bottom 12% of all presidential quarters.
Biden Job Approval Showing No Signs of Increasing
The latest quarterly average for Biden is technically the lowest of his presidency to date, though not meaningfully different from the previous quarter’s 39.0%. After Biden averaged better than 50% approval during his first two quarters in office, his subsequent readings have been near 40%.

Yeah. Never saw this coming. Who knew corrupt, demented retards make lousy Senators and worse Presidents?
Surprised they posted an article showing Trump with better poll numbers than Obama.
I just hope that he hasn’t bottomed out too soon.
38% approval rating? Seriously? They must be polling morons that are living in their mom’s basement playing video games all day long. How can anyone in their right mind think “happy days are here again”? This is the worst I’ve ever seen business in my 37 years of working in manufacturing.
Joe Biden has been “phoning it in” from the first day on the job. Not surprising that this is becoming so apparent to so many people.
Not enough, yet, because the vote fraud machines will be working overtime from now until sometime early in December 2024.
Keep on recounting the vote until the Democrat Socialists win.
Even though I dislike the guy, remember Romney and his 47% quote? The average IQ in America now is around 95. Helped along by turd world infestation.
