Joe Biden’s Average Approval Rating Well Below Historic Reelection Threshold

Wendell Husebø 22 Mar 2024


President Joe Biden’s average approval rating is well below the historic threshold for the incumbent to win reelection.

RealClearPolitic’s average of Biden’s approval rating stands at 40.3 percent, while 56.3 percent disapprove of the president.

His approval rating is lower than the three previous presidents’ ratings in March during the fourth year of their first terms: Trump 44.3, Obama 47.5, Bush 50.1:



Biden’s 40 percent approval rating is well below the 50 percent threshold incumbents historically require to win reelection. Gallup reported several key reelection indicators:

    50 percent or higher approval ratings renders Biden a safe bet for reelection
    Two presidents with approval ratings below 40 percent lost reelection
    Between June and Election Day, approval ratings do not change much

"Thresholds" don't count when The Party has its "apparatus" working for it (both underground and above-ground)...

No more than 'bell weather states' did last time. Funny how historical trends get all mommicked up when someone monkeys with the count.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

So what?  In today's politics, the party that controls the most counts wins.  Notice I said counts, not votes.

The problem with this polling data is that only potential voters are being polled.  The pollsters should be polling ballots - not voters.  Big difference.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

They’re also polling only living voters, also

The dead may have a very different opinion on Biden’s job performance
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

His performance dropped (again) to some number higher than polled previously?

Enough of this Orwellian bullshit. Polls are just used to set the point spread in the minds of the populace.  Even liberals should see gas prices going up again, and I doubt their organic, sustainably sourced, cage free tofu is any cheaper.

Biden being below historical averages doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know - both of these guys are unpopular.

How either candidate gets over 25% approval is beyond me.

I beleive RFK, Jr. would be polling better, except behind the scenes Biden is using Trump tactics to squash his rebellion within the party/ideology.

In any sane world there should be a Perrot like alternative skimming off 20-30% of the voters who are seriously disgusted with the choice of candidates that mimics choosing between 2 terminal illnesses.
