50 days in what is Biden’s net approval rating?
Here’s the net approval ratings for recent US Presidents after 50 days:
- Johnson +72%
- Kennedy +66%
- Carter +61%
- Eisenhower +59%
- Nixon +54%
- Bush GHW +50%
- Bush GW +39%
- Reagan +37%
- Obama +32%
- Clinton +31%
- Ford +19%
- Biden +15%
- Trump -5%
So positive, but relatively low. I suspect partisanship in the US means no new President will ever get a net approval rating of over say +20% so they get judged off their party, not their performance.
