President Joe Biden earned one of the lowest approval ratings among presidents in the modern era during his first 100 days in office, according to a new poll.
What are the details? The ABC News/Washington Post poll, conducted April 18 to April 21, found that Biden's approval rating stands at a paltry 52%, far below expectations that Democrats had for the new president they predicted would be a mostly unifying figure.
In fact, Biden's approval rating is "lower than any president at 100 days in office since 1945," according to ABC News. Only Gerald Ford, who was publicly damaged by his decision to pardon Richard Nixon, and Donald Trump had lower approval ratings for their first 100 days in the White House. Still, Biden's 52% is 10 points higher than Trump's 42%.
Overall, the average approval rating for the 14 presidents from Harry Truman to Biden for their first 100 days in office is 66%, meaning Biden is 14% below the average.
The survey found that a majority of Americans — 64% and 65%, respectively — approve of Biden's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and supported his pandemic-related economic relief package. A majority, 58%, also support Biden's proposal to raise corporate taxes.
However, Americans are split on Biden's handling of the economy — just 52% approve — and his multi-trillion dollar infrastructure package, which also earned just 52% approval.
Biden is mostly hampered by his refusal to directly address the border crisis; just 37% of respondents said they approve of Biden's handling of immigration and the intensifying migrant crisis at the southern U.S. border.
According to ABC News, respondents also dislike Biden's trend toward enlarging the government, and a significant portion said they view him as "too liberal."

52% approval is SHOCKINGLY high. I don’t believe it.
52%????? ROTFLMBO!!!........how desperate can one get? We’re into pumping air into a flat tire for the next 4 years......good grief!!!
It’s a sad commentary on the fall of the republic that dementia Joe is polling above 0.
Maybe .52%.
Maybe...
Trump was more popular than the numbers showed. Biden is less.
*grabs popcorn*
Awaits Propaganda Minister ‘Baghdad Bob’ PsakiIdiot take come Monday.
Who believes an ABC/WaPo poll?
All I see are high approval ratings for Biden.
“We’re into pumping air into a flat tire for the next 4 years......good grief!!!”
Some tires will air up for a bit but this tire has a ginormous hole in the sidewall.
What is not to like about free money plus the promise of more free money and entitlements? Most people worry about their checking accounts rather than the ideology of freedom. Unless the economy collapses, a red wave in the 2022 midterm elections is not likely to happen. What did snake head James Carville say?: "it's the economy, stupid.
“In fact, Biden’s approval rating is “lower than any president at 100 days in office since 1945”
Let that fact sink in.
The lowest first 100 days approval rating in 76 years.
Just like those “81 million votes” that he supposedly got. BULLSCAT!
Doesn’t matter what his so called approval rating is.
The Dems control the Fake News which cover and protect ChiDEN 24/7.
Besides that they control, who votes and the votes get counted and whose votes don’t count.
A few weeks ago they said it was 63%. I just laughed.
I think there was a Gallup poll a week or two ago that had him at about 60% approval. The Biden presidency is one of the biggest frauds in human history. I’m sure Stalin’s “popularity ratings” were very high as well.
"Why?" I asked.
"Nobody's working," he replied. "The companies can't get enough workers. They're all getting government benefits; so why work?"
"What happens when nobody works?" I suggested.
We both laughed cynically.
Yes. You nailed it.
