Biden notches worst net approval rating after Hunter pardon
Joe Biden‘s popularity has not improved post-election, with the lame-duck president receiving his lowest approval rating in one respected poll.
In a survey conducted this month by Marquette Law School Poll, 34% of respondents approved of Biden and 66% disapproved, for a net approval rating of negative 32 percentage points. According to Marquette, the poll showed Biden’s lowest approval rating, which has remained below 40% since September 2023.
The president’s average net approval rating is negative 18 points, according to RealClearPolitics.
The Marquette poll, published Wednesday, found Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter this month with expansive clemency action is deeply unpopular, with 29% approving and 71% disapproving. Hunter Biden was seen at a White House holiday party Tuesday night.
Biden’s net favorability rating has similarly fallen from net negative 4 points in November 2021 to net negative 25 points this month, his worst rating according to Marquette. Vice President Kamala Harris has experienced a similar downward trend but one that has not been as pronounced.
“Since losing the presidential election, her net favorability has declined from her all-time highs of July and October, though not falling to the levels of the winter and spring before she became the Democratic nominee,” poll director Charles Franklin said of Harris’s net negative 16-point favorability rating.
Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump has had the opposite experience. Trump’s net favorability rating has increased from a low of net negative 35 points in January 2022 to his current net negative 1 point, his best according to Marquette.
The poll also found Trump’s overall approval at a high, with 53% of respondents approving of the president-elect’s first term, up from 50% last month. Forty-seven percent disapproved, down from 50% in October.
“This is Trump’s highest approval rating since March, when this question of retrospective approval was first asked,” Franklin added.
The Marquette Law School Poll was put in the field between Dec. 2-11, with 1,063 adults interviewed nationwide and a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.
