Now President Joe Biden knows how former President Donald Trump felt.
In just shared numbers, Rasmussen Reports today said that the Democratic president’s approval rating is underwater, a situation Trump was regularly in.
And worse, his approval is at an all-time low. Biden’s approval has fallen to 46%, and his disapproval is at 52%.
His trend line in the Rasmussen tracking history has never shown him to be as popular as his former boss, Barack Obama.
Not surprisingly, there is a huge partisan gap in the findings. Among Democrats, Biden’s approval to disapproval rating was 77% to 22%.
Republicans are harsh in their judgment of the liberal president. Some 81% disapprove of Biden, while just 17% approve.
Bad for Biden is the intensity of those who disapprove. The poll said that 42% “strongly disapprove,” while only 26% “strongly approve.”
However, he still stands higher than Trump did at this point of his presidency when he was at 41% approval.
The shift in Biden’s approval ratings parallel the growing coronavirus crisis and his administration’s shift back to requiring masks and social distancing.
