US President Biden’s job approval rating has fallen the most since the start of his term than any other president since World War II.
A new Gallup poll was released Friday, polling Americans between Oct. 1-19 shows Biden’s approval rating plunged from 56% in Q1 to 44.7% in Q3, a whopping 11.3 percentage points that any president hasn’t seen in over 75 years.
“Biden began his term with relatively solid approval ratings, ranging between 54% and 57% from January through June. His approval dropped to 50% in July and 49% in August as coronavirus infections surged in the U.S. The chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in late August, which included the deaths of more than a dozen U.S. military personnel in a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport, was likely the reason Biden’s September job approval rating fell further to 43%,” Gallup said.
We noted in June that Gallup data showed Biden’s “honeymoon period” was over and said if the president cannot “tame inflation” could result in further rating declines. And, oh boy, were we right…
Biden also faces an increasing disillusionment among Americans that he can’t fix the border crisis, snarled supply chains, high gas prices, soaring inflation, consumer goods shortages, and the coronavirus pandemic, among a whole list of other things.
