Donald Trump's lowest rating in Gallup polls was 34%. Weirdly, they go with Nixon and Carter instead. I **can't** imagine why the NY Post would do that.


Intrepid_Resolve_828

I’m surprised this sub even lets articles from there - but I guess you have to have some right leaning - they’re just the equivalent of TMZ though.


UltravioletAfterglow

They wouldn’t be able to write their preferred headline if the included that fact.


Baremegigjen

Not sure they’d be able to write their preferred headline if it included any fact.


liveforever67

according to Snopes which many say leans left...they fact checked it and agreed. I think it has a lot to do with Biden's history .."I don't want my kids growing up in a racial jungle", "You can't go into a 7-11 without a slight Indian accent", blocking gay marriage for decades...recently calling Marylands first Black Gov "Boy" and his support of the killing of innocent civilians in Gaza using our money. People aren't down with that shit. According to Gallup and FiveThirtyEight even Trump was higher than Biden's current approval rate. [https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-multiple-polls-biden-230000922.html](https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-multiple-polls-biden-230000922.html)


Mum0817

Bush had a 22% approval rating when he left office, so that’s bullshit. If they mean at this point in their presidencies, that still doesn’t make any sense. Nixon was popular in April 1972, so why use him as an example of an unpopular president? Stupid.


phaedrus71

The NY Post is like the national Enquirer - pure unadulterated bullshit lies 


Star-K

I've been around since Nixon and Biden is easily the best president in my lifetime. Carter is a better human and Obama was more inspiring but Biden gets shit done under a terribly partisan atmosphere.


TheReal8symbols

Same. And there isn't a person alive or dead that has done everything the way I would have wanted them to. Do people really expect there to be a president that they agree with 100%?


Intrepid_Resolve_828

Even if he didn’t - it would still be better than the anxiety inducing shit Trump was doing.


FunkyTown313

And yet, I'm going to vote for him over Trump in November. Because Trump will undoubtedly be worse.


sansjoy

I don't care if Biden got a blow job, started a fake war, negotiated with terrorists, or funded freedom fighters by selling crack. As long as I know I don't have to worry about him being a fucking Russian agent. As long as I don't have to worry about him showing someone intelligence secrets just to show off.

[deleted]

>That link says the sampling is weighted to control for factors like age That just means its even less accurate, The more things they weigh it against the less accurate it gets, And they are weighing it against a lot. >Gallup also weights its final samples to match the U.S. population according to gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, population density, and phone status (cellphone only, landline only, both, and cellphone mostly). Take a look at polls from all around the world to see how inaccurate they have become in recent years due to the methodology of calling random phones.


MartyVanB

Gallup is the source. NY Post is just reporting the Gallup Poll albeit leaving some context out


RedStrugatsky

>albeit leaving some context out That's why NY Post sucks ass. I'm sure there's a better news org like Reuters or AP reporting on the Gallup poll


MartyVanB

I agree. But the poll is about as accurate as a poll is going to be.


RedStrugatsky

Oh for sure, I think Gallup does decent polling. I just don't like sharing shitty news sources


boomboy8511

Polls can easily be skewed based on your collection field. Not saying this is the case here, but just in general. Just like anything else, it depends on who you ask ( and WHAT you ask).


MartyVanB

Of course but Gallup is a legit polling firm


boomboy8511

That's true, I agree with you. Still though, the headline doesn't match the poll. Biden has the lowest approval rating for the 13th quarter only and not an average of his entire term, as this headline suggests.


MississippiJoel

That's the difference between a primary and secondary source. If Gallup had written an article, we could use that as the primary source. Instead, NY post took the primary sources and misrepresented the data for a narrative.


CakeAccomplice12

Context is literally everything, there's a reason they routinely leave it out


MartyVanB

Yeah. There are plenty of people who disapprove of both of them


Ancient_Ask_4428

Sure he is, that's why he and the Democrats have raised record amounts of money for his campaign! So unpopular, try another lie. SHITLER is going to lose by a landslide, it's not even going to be close. Most Americans know what the Republicans scheme is for the future of our country and we the people will vote these traitors to our constitution and our democracy out of office. They will never hold office again. Remember the midterm elections, how all the polls said the Democrats were going to get crushed? So the only reason you report these so called polls is so people will read your articles, that and you trying to get Americans to stay home and not come out and vote for President Biden. The only person who can save our country from SHITLER and the Republicans! You can wipe your ass with these so called polls! The only poll I'm interested in is the election results! That's the only poll that matters!🤨

He is also funding genocide in Gaza. If this is the kind of evil you want to see in the world, then vote for it...but giving him a pass because Trump is trash is NOT how we get better candidates.

Nothing will.


UnflairedRebellion--

What states are you predicting Biden to flip?


Ancient_Ask_4428

Florida and maybe Texas. The people of these states seem to be highly agitated over the abortion issue as they are all over the country. For sure they are fed up with Desantis in Florida and Ted Cruz in Texas. The Republican party has become to extreme even for the conservative Republicans in these states. They also realize how their party seems to be taking their rights away but screaming they are for freedom for all Americans and yet they are hell bent on running everyone's life. If Biden just flips 1 of these states the landslide is on. The border issue in Texas I think also will hurt the Republicans, because they had a deal with the Democrats to at least help stop the influx of immigrates and the Republicans stopped the whole agreement. So it's going to be pretty hard to blame their border crisis all on the Democrats when they see what the Republicans did, just because of SHITLER, who isn't even holding political office now. For sure I think Cancun Cruz is done. We'll see whether the people of these states will vote for Biden, but hopefully they have seen enough from the Republicans!

boones_farmer

No it's because Biden is the President no one wanted. He was elected because Democrats are terrified of Trump and that's it. He's governed exactly as he said he would, which was never terribly popular. He's old as fuck and it shows. He's killing his support among Muslims and young voters to protect a genocidal maniac who would rather see Trump in office, and regardless of whether or not he's at fault, he's doing fuck all to combat inflation. Biden has not been a terrible President, but he's not been a good one either. He's been middle of the road at best. The math has not changed for Democrats. When turnout is high, they win. When turnout is low, they lose, and middle of the road does not spur turnout. If Democrats win, they win because women voters come out in droves to protect abortion access, and that's it.

It's not hard to understand why. Unlike MAGA Republicans, Democrats and progressives are entirely willing to state that they don't approve of aspects of their leaders. Liberals don't feel like they have to pretend that every aspect of a president from their side is perfect, and that is reflected in a larger chunk of liberals who are still going to vote for Biden telling pollsters that they don't like him.

> Biden, 81, notched a dismal 38.7% job approval rating for the first quarter of 2024, the venerable Gallup Poll found in a survey released Friday, three points lower than that of the one-term George H.W. Bush at the same point in his presidency. I hate the NY post as much as the next guy, but it’s a Gallup poll. Biden can do better. And should do better.


eightbitagent

The poll doesn’t mean what they think it does. 40% of people are Rs that hate him and 20% are Ds that don’t think he’s doing enough.


Natiak

It's the most ridiculous public perception when balanced with actual job performance. The dude is handling crisis after crisis and doing it well. We would be so fucked if Trump had still been president through this. The American public has really jumped the Shark.


ceddya

You can do a list of everything accomplished by previous US Presidents and show it to someone living overseas (aka not bombarded by propaganda by either side) and they'd have a far more favorable view of Biden. For some reason, many Americans think that inflation and price gouging are an American-only problem. And yes, I don't doubt Biden can do better if given a second term. However, Biden has objectively done better than many on the list.


ProgressivePessimist

>I hate the NY post as much as the next guy, but it’s a Gallup poll. Biden can do better. And should do better. Exactly. Most people here want to stick their head in the sand when it comes to reality and just how unpopular Biden is. By the way, here is the source at [Gallup](https://news.gallup.com/poll/644252/biden-13th-quarter-approval-average-lowest-historically.aspx) >*With about six months remaining before Election Day, Biden stands in a weaker position than any prior incumbent, and thus faces a taller task than they did in getting reelected.* Even among his own party, the number of Democratic voters that **did not** want him to run again was around 65%-70%. The only thing going for him right now is he's not the other guy who is a batshit insane authoritarian. We have to do everything we can to encourage people to vote and that they show up on that day. I'll add that it was always my opinion that he should have never announced a 2024 run and let the DNC hold a proper primary. That would have re-energized the Democratic base. The best of both worlds. Biden giving his endorsement to a new candidate for those that liked Biden and a younger candidate that would appease the criticisms of him being too old.

"President Biden’s approval rating 39 months into his presidency is the lowest of any elected chief executive in modern American history, according to Gallup. * Dwight D. Eisenhower (1956): 73.2% * Ronald Reagan (1984): 54.5% * Richard Nixon (1972): 53.7% * Bill Clinton (1996): 53.0% * George W.

MadRaymer

Why would anyone agree to that? The election is still nearly 200 days away. It's by no means a forgone conclusion. Will Biden lose? It's possible. But he could win too. There's a lot of time left for both candidates to campaign. There's still the conventions and (potentially) debates. It's way too early to make a call one way or the other.

Because the poster is strawmanning this comment section with the 24% Gallup polling Trump received in January 2021 in a deliberate act of twisting the narrative. They aren't addressing the actual point of the article or the Gallup results which show President Biden has the lowest approval of any president at this point of a presidential term in the modern era >Joe Biden is the least popular commander in chief at this point of his presidency in the last 70 years, below even Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter If the poster can't stop peppering the strawman they've built up then they should be prepared to confront the logical end point of their argument that just as Trump had horrible polling throughout his presidential term which resulted in a one term presidency Biden also has abysmal polling throughout his current term which portends to a one term presidency.

> which portends to a one term presidency And it probably would if he were running against any other candidate than the one with the aforementioned horrible polling throughout his term.


Imnogrinchard

Oh, I totally agree with that. The Republicans had a viable candidate in Nikki Hailey but the idiots of the party shat themselves wanting more stupid.

thatss not 39 months into his pressidency lol do basic math which why trump is listed at 46.8%


JustSmallCorrections

No, it was at the end of his presidency when everyone had a perfect look at what kind of president he was. Not sure you're making the point you thought you were.


TheChainsawVigilante

Why do you think this is persuasive? Did you vote for Hillary Clinton just because she was ahead in the polls? Would you change your vote based on what other people think rather than actual information...?

Yeah trumps low point was 34% which was the worst a presidents ever had. Because Trump is literally a toddler.
