Poll: Americans think Biden was a terrible president
By Andrea Widburg
The Daily Mail commissioned a poll to have Americans rank presidents going back to Richard Nixon (a fifty-year time span). While Barack Obama was ranked way higher than he deserved (reflecting, I guess, Democrats responding to the poll), no one liked Biden.
The poll results are extremely interesting because they partially reflect America’s profound partisan divide (Reagan and Obama had the same favorables, but Obama’s unfavorables were higher). Meanwhile, Donald Trump had the third highest favorables but his unfavorables were second only to Biden’s, dropping him in the rankings.
The one thing, though, is that, of the 1006 registered voters polled, everyone thought Biden was totally awful:
Voters have delivered a devastating verdict on Joe Biden’s time in office, branding him the worst president in almost 50 years.
An exclusive Daily Mail poll found Biden was less impressive than Jimmy Carter, who was voted out after a single term after presiding over double-digit inflation and a botched effort to rescue American hostages in Iran.
The poll result also makes him worse in voters’ minds than Richard Nixon, who forced to resign rather than face impeachment over the devastating Watergate scandal.

Some 44 percent placed him as one of the worst two, while only 14 percent placed him in the top two, giving him a net score of 30 points underwater.
That was worse than Nixon, who came out with negative 25, and Donald Trump, with negative 15.
James Johnson, cofounder of J.L. Partners which conducted the poll, called it a ‘diabolical’ result for Biden.
