<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In pro sports and politics, numbers matter, and Biden is now the least popular president in the last 70 years, falling below Jimmy Carter and even Richard Nixon!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to a new Gallup Poll, Biden, 81, notched a dismal 38.7% job approval rating for the first quarter of 2024, three points lower than that of the one-term George H.W. Bush at the same point in his presidency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“With about six months remaining before Election Day, Biden stands in a weaker position than any prior incumbent,” the pollsters concluded.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In contrast, former President Donald Trump, who is vying with Biden for a second White House term, had a 46.8% approval rating at this point in his presidency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even Nixon and Carter had higher ratings than Biden, with 53.7% and 47.7%, respectively, and Eisenhower had the highest rating at 73.2%, according to the poll.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The results of Gallup’s presidential approval polls, which the organization has compiled since the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower began in 1952, have been strongly predictive of re-election success.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Historically, every incumbent in the past seven decades with an approval rating above 50% has ;won a second term. Barack Obama was the only one to topple the trend: his 2012 victory came despite a middling 46% approval six months ahead of that year’s general election.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, despite his former boss bucking the trend, no first-term president in Gallup&#8217;s history has returned to the White House with approval numbers as low as Biden&#8217;s — whose results this quarter ranked among the worst of the post-World War II era in the bottom 12% of all presidential quarters going back to 1945.</p>
