President Biden’s approval rating has sunk to an all-time low as he embarks on his 2024 re-election effort, a new poll shows.
The survey, released by Gallup on Thursday, found that just 37% of US adults approved of the 80-year-old president’s job performance, the lowest the polling outfit has measured since the start of his presidency.
Gallup found that 59% of adults said they disapproved of the job Biden has done as commander in chief.
The poll was conducted between April 3-25. It was completed on the day Biden announced he would seek a second term in office.
Biden’s approval rating has been measured in the low 40% range for most of the last 19 months, according to the polling company, and the last time it was this low was in July 2022, when 38% said they disapproved of his job performance.
His latest approval rating marks a three-point decline from March and a five-point dip from February.
Over the recently completed ninth quarter of Biden’s presidency – Jan. 20 through April 19 – his job approval average has been measured at 39.7% by Gallup, which is the lowest quarterly average of his first term and lower than former President Donald Trump’s 41.6% approval rating average in the same quarter.
