Does it occur to anyone else that approval ratings of our presidents since Obama have bottomed out?

Obama’s high point in 2009 was a 69% approval rating.

Currently, Biden’s approval rating in the new survey stands at 45%. That leaves 55% of the nation that disapprove of the job that Biden is doing. So MOST Americans DON’T LIKE how Biden is leading our nation. Biden’s approval rating was higher in the first two years of his term in office. But even HIS rating dropped quickly and markedly after his first year:

He began his presidency with a 57% approval rating in January, 2021. During his seventh quarter in office (Jul 20-Oct 19, 2022) he had a 42% approval rating,………

But the poll also suggests that news about the discovery of the documents has had little impact thus far on baseline views of the president. little changed from CNN’s December poll, in which 46% approved of his handling of the presidency.

Biden isn’t even ranking highly in California, where his democratic leanings should be garnering feelings of partisanship in his favor. Here, he has only an 8.6 approval rating.

tRump’s high point came in his last year in office, when he had a 49% approval rating. Biden has another whole year in office to beat those numbers. (That no typo. I’m purposely misspelling tRump’s name in order to get across the depth of my scorn and revulsion of that misbegotten, insane and bigoted, orange creature).
