Biden third-year approval average worse than any president since Carter: Gallup
Trump, for his part, has previously referenced Carter in light of Biden's tenure.
After three years in office, public opinion appears sour on President Joe Biden and his stewardship of the nation, with the commander-in-chief posting the lowest third-year approval rating average since former President Jimmy Carter, who left office in 1980.
The Gallup third-year averages tracking the overall approval rating of a president across their initial three years in office. Biden's average stood at 39.8%, just above Carter's superlatively low 37.4%. Former President Trump earned a 42.0% third-year average while his predecessor, Barack Obama, earned a 44.5%.
At present, Biden stands narrowly above his average rating, commanding 41% support in Gallup's January survey.
In the RealClearPolitics polling average, which includes the Gallup survey, Biden earns 40.0% approval and 56.5% disapproval.
Trump, for his part, has previously referenced Carter in light of Biden's tenure. Earlier this month, he quipped that "Jimmy Carter is happy now, because he will go down as a brilliant president by comparison to Joe Biden," The Hill reported.
