LateToCult 41,836 Posted July 24, 2024 Share Posted July 24, 2024 President Biden’s approval rating as president hit a new low this month, according to a Gallup survey taken just before Biden announced he would withdraw from the 2024 race. The poll, published Tuesday, found 36 percent of respondents said they approve of Biden’s handling of his role as president, compared to 58 percent who said they disapprove. … Among post-World War II presidents, only former President Carter had a worse approval rating at this stage in his term — bringing in 35.8 percent support. Former President George H. W. Bush, a one-term president like Carter, came close with 39.2 percent, according to the poll.

monstertoronto 11,742 Posted July 24, 2024 Share Posted July 24, 2024 Literally I was reading headlines like “Dems accepting Trump victory” before Biden pulled out. There was no way he was going to win, he did the best thing for the country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo 4,410 Posted July 24, 2024 Share Posted July 24, 2024 Profoundly unjust, history will judge him differently (and already has), and count me in the 36%. Meanwhile, I think the current exuberance is almost as irrational, but, I'll take it. P.S. Note that his position in the polls vs. Trump was always higher than this -- they were neck and neck, within the margin of error -- and anyone who says he couldn't win is talking nonsense. It's just more "vibes". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
