Biden and Trump record lowest average approval ratings among post-World War II presidents

A recent Gallup poll shows that Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump have the lowest average approval ratings among post-World War II presidents. Biden's average approval was 42.2%, slightly higher than Trump's 41.1%. Biden's approval ratings have struggled since mid-2021, primarily due to inflation concerns. His final Gallup rating was 40%, while Trump's was 34%. In contrast, Biden's current approval is 37.1%, lower than Trump's final average of 38.6%. Trump is scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, following a presidential race where Biden dropped out last summer. The Democratic Party is analyzing Biden's performance to reshape strategies for the upcoming midterms.
