Under President Joe Biden, the U.S. is in disarray, with Americans paying the ultimate price for the president’s lax decisions. As such, a newly released poll showed the president’s approval rating at the lowest mark for any president in 15 years.
An ABC News/Ipsos poll showed that just 33% of individuals surveyed approve of the president’s tenure, marking a decrease from a previous poll in September 2023, when 37% said Biden was governing well. The president’s disapproval rating is now at 58%, a 2% increase from September 2023.

ABC News pointed out that such statistics signal a lower approval rating since former President George W. Bush from 2006-2008.
The president, who will likely match up against former President Donald Trump in November 2024, has a lower approval rating than the former president.
The ABC News/Ipsos survey asked respondents when “looking back” if they approve or disapprove of Trump’s decisions in the Oval Office, to which 41% said they approved. The former president’s disapproval rating is at 53%.
Biden’s approval rating falls below Trump’s worst during his time in the White House, which reached 36% three separate times.
The survey also showed that Trump led Biden when respondents were asked whether the presidential frontrunners had the mental sharpness to serve effectively.
Just 28% of individuals said Biden had the mental ability to continue serving as president, marking a decrease from 32% in 2023. Nearly 50% of respondents said that Trump has the cognition to serve as president again. Over 55% contended that the former president is physically well.
In somewhat good news for Biden, the president’s disapproval rating for his handling of the economy has decreased by 8% since September 2023, from 64-56%.
Concerning the ongoing Middle East war between Israel and Hamas, a terrorist organization, only 26% approve of Biden’s diplomacy, while 48% disapprove.
Since taking office in 2021, Biden’s poor decision-making has weakened the U.S. economy, reduced educational standards, empowered America’s adversaries, and created a crisis at the southern border, among other unfortunate consequences.
A recent poll by YouGov shows the former president defeating Biden in a hypothetical 2024 presidential rematch by two percentage points, 50-48%.
