Biden's Approval Rate Lower After First 100 Days than Nearly Every Prez in 80 Years
Democrat Joe Biden’s approval rating is lower during his first 100 days than every president in 80 years excepting Trump’s and Ford’s numbers, according to a new poll.
It isn’t surprising that Trump and Gerald Ford’s numbers are extremely low after their first 100 days because the media targeted both for total destruction.
But the fact that they are so slavishly in love with Biden and he is still in the dumps for approval is quite a feat.
According to Breitbart News:
“Only 34 percent strongly approved of Biden’s performance as president, while another 18 percent somewhat approved of his performance — for a net approval rating of 52 percent. On the other side — for a net disapproval rating of 42 percent — far more people, 35 percent, strongly disapproved of Biden’s performance than the 7 percent who somewhat disapproved,” Breitbart wrote.
Biden, who approaches the 100-day mark of his official tenure with 52 percent approval, according to the Washington Post’s latest survey, surpasses only Trump and Ford in approval ratings at a similar mark in the beginning of a president’s term.
Former Presidents Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all performed better at their 100-day marks. Only Trump, who was a highly controversial president, and Ford — who took over the job after Nixon resigned due to the Watergate scandal and was not elected into the office — had lower approval ratings at the end of their first 100 days.
The poll has been around for many years going back at least to 1945 when Truman was elected:
New WP poll: At 100 days, Biden job approval at 52 percent. Other than Trump, that's lowest of any president at 100 days since Gerald Ford. Taking out Ford and Trump, it's lowest of any president in modern polling era. https://t.co/DOq211pJYj pic.twitter.com/NHDoCilMTM

You can also add FDR in there and go back another 8 years. After all, FDR was a very popular president.
Again, Biden is failing even with the media doing its best to serve as his personal PR agency.
