According to Gallup, the only recent president to have a lower approval rating than President Joe Biden during his 10th quarter in office is former President Jimmy Carter in 1979.
Biden’s average approval rating for his 10th quarter is now at 40%. For Carter, it was 30.7% for the same period of his presidency.
The poll, conducted July 3-27, saw Biden slipping three points from June polling results.
Gallup says that Biden’s average quarterly approval rating has not risen above 42% since his third quarter in office, when it reached 44.7%. His average ratings in the first two quarters of his presidency were 56% and 53.3%, according to the polling company.
However, Democrats are still very much still on board with Biden, with 86% of them saying they approve of the job he is doing.
Only 2% of Republicans approve of the job Biden is doing and 38% of independent voters approve.
As for Vice President Kamala Harris, her approval rating is even lower, at 38%. But among Democrats, 80% currently approve of the job she has done as second in command.
“At 38%, Vice President Kamala Harris’ favorability rating is slightly lower than Biden’s and similar to her late 2022 reading, as is her unfavorable rating of 53%. Nine percent have either never heard of Harris or don’t have an opinion of her,” Gallup reports at this link.
