After a series of polls, especially from Gallup and Rasmussen Reports, that the nation considers the 46th president among the worst ever, one of the last to grade Biden just put his approval rating at a near low.

Emerson College Polling said on Tuesday morning that just 37% approve of Biden, a slight 1-point rise from 36% in December. Some 52% do not approve of Biden.

“President Biden closes his term with an approval rating 12 points lower than the first Emerson national poll in 2021 that measured the president’s approval, at 49%,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. “Biden ends with a 70% approval among his base of Democratic voters, a 16-point drop since the 2021 poll, 33% among independents, a 2-point drop, and 10% among Republican voters, a 10-point decrease.”

Those poor numbers are driven in part by the belief among voters that Biden has damaged the economy and is leaving it in worse shape than when he took over after President-elect Donald Trump’s first term.

“A majority (67%) of voters think the country is on the wrong track, while 33% think the U.S. is headed in the right direction. This compares to the beginning of the Biden term when 54% thought the country was on the wrong track and 46% thought the country was headed in the right direction,” the Emerson analysis said.

Biden can hope that his approval turns around in retirement, as it did for former President Jimmy Carter. In its new national poll, Emerson said that 59% expressed a favorable opinion of Carter.

However, that came after 45 years of charitable and diplomatic work by Carter, and Biden is 82 years old.
