Joe Biden's Approval Rating is Now the Lowest of Any President in the Past 15 Years

President Joe Biden's approval rating has plummeted to the lowest of any president in the last 15 years.


A newly released ABC News/Ipsos poll found that Biden's approval is just 31 percent.

ABC News reports:

Among all adults, Biden's approval rating is just 33% in this poll, worse than Trump's low as president (36%) and the lowest since George W. Bush from 2006-2008. Fifty-eight percent disapprove of Biden's work.

Among groups, just 31% of women now approve of Biden's work in office, a new low (as do 34% of men). He won 57% of women in 2020.

He's at 28% approval among independents, a customary swing voter group; a low of 32% among moderates; and a low of 41% among college graduates, 10 points off his career average in that group.


"Further, Biden's approval rating is 21 points below average among Black people and 15 points below average among Hispanic people, compared with 6 points among white people; more Black people, in particular, offer no opinion," the report added.

The pollsters also found that 72 percent of Republicans would be satisfied with Trump becoming the party's nominee — but just 57 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents would be satisfied with Biden as their party's nominee.

Asked about Trump's time in office, 41 percent of respondents approved of how he handled his time in office.

A major issue hurting Biden is the economy, with just 13 percent saying they are better off financially since he took office.

Looking back at around the same time in Trump's presidency, only 13 percent said that they were worse off under his administration.

The survey found that 31 percent approve of how Biden is handling the economy, with 56 percent disapproving.

The ABC News/Ipsos poll was conducted via the probability-based Ipsos KnowledgePanel® Jan. 4-8, 2024, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 2,228 adults. The results have a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
