A new poll reveals that as Biden prepares to depart from office, Americans have a poorer opinion of Joe Biden's presidency than they did at the conclusion of Donald Trump's first term or Barack Obama's second.

According to the survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, approximately 25% of U.S. adults regarded Biden as a "good" or "great" president, with less than 10% describing him as "great," as Newsweek reported.

It is a stark illustration of the extent to which Biden's legacy has been tarnished, as many members of his own party regard his Democratic presidency as essentially mediocre.

Pollling Details

AP-NORC polling indicates that approximately one-third of the American public regarded Trump as "good" or "great" on the eve of his departure from the White House in 2021. This figure includes approximately two-tenths of the respondents who rated him as "great," despite the fact that he was instrumental in the instigation of a deadly insurrection that resulted in a mob of his supporters overrunning the U.S. Capitol.

Biden and Trump were both characterized as "poor" or "terrible" by approximately half of those polled . However, approximately three in ten Americans described Biden as "average," while less than two in ten Americans said the same about Trump.

In the past, Biden's conditions were not as terrible. AP-NORC polling indicated that approximately 60% of Americans were satisfied with his presidency upon his assumption of office. However, by early 2022, the executive figure decreased to approximately 40%, a level that remained consistent for the duration of his term.

Another Poll

Biden's popularity is also significantly lower than that of the most recent Democratic president, Obama, who left office with approximately half of Americans rating his tenure as "good" or "great," according to an additional AP-NORC poll.

Those results are in accordance with Gallup's recent data, which revealed that Biden's popularity was comparable to that of President Richard Nixon following his resignation during the Watergate scandal.

The Gallup analysis revealed that the opinions of other presidents who departed with low ratings, such as Republican George W. Bush, Democrat Jimmy Carter, and Trump, tended to improve over time.

But at present, there are few who are satisfied with Biden's tenure in office, including a significant number of Democrats.

From Respondents

"I'm not going to sound like 'Star Wars,' that he went over to the dark side and everything that might be implied there," said John Cressey, a 79-year-old Democrat who lives in Los Angeles and works in the films industry, of Biden. "But I think he just lost the pulse of the nation and that's why Trump won."

Approximately one in ten supporters of Biden's party characterized his presidency as "great," while approximately four in ten described it as "good," and a comparable proportion described it as "average."

The president, according to Cressey, was becoming more and more manipulated by his aides, and he observed the 82-year-old Biden physically deteriorating.

He alleges that Biden permitted the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border to spiral into a "mess." Cressey succinctly expressed his dissatisfaction with Biden's economic management by advising, "Buy a carton of eggs."
