Overview

  • Biden's third-year approval rating is the second lowest in history, with an average of 39.8%, only surpassing Jimmy Carter's 37.4%.
  • Despite the low approval ratings, Biden's administration claims they have accomplished significant feats, such as piecemeal student loan debt forgiveness and capping the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month.
  • Factors contributing to Biden's low approval ratings include the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, economic discontent, global crises, and record levels of illegal immigration.
  • Vice President Kamala Harris attributes the administration's low approval ratings to not adequately communicating their accomplishments to the public.
  • Despite the low approval ratings, Biden's reelection campaign continues, with Gallup suggesting that his success may depend on convincing a larger share of independents that he is deserving of a second term.
