Majority believe Biden presidency won’t be remembered favorably: Poll
President Joe Biden leaves the White House in less than two weeks, and a new survey suggests the public will not remember his four years in office favorably.
A Gallup poll released on Tuesday shows that 54% of adults believe Biden will go down in history as a “below average” or “poor” president, with 37% saying the former and 17% choosing the latter.
Only 13% said they believe he will go down in history as an above-average president and 6% said his presidency will be viewed as “outstanding.” The remaining roughly 26% said his presidency will be remembered as average and 1% had no opinion.
Biden’s figures, from the survey conducted from Dec. 2-18, are toward the bottom of the list of presidents about whom surveys were drawn. The polls went back to every president since John F. Kennedy but did not include Gerald Ford or Lyndon Johnson.
The current president had a net positive rating of negative 35%, and only former President Richard Nixon’s tenure had a lower view than Biden’s, at a negative 42% rating. Those reflecting on President-elect Donald Trump’s first term had more split opinions, with the former and incoming president having a net negative 4% rating.
Trump’s ratings have vastly improved since the 2021 survey conducted in the final weeks of his first term, when he had a net positive rating of negative 32%.
The most favorably remembered presidencies in the survey released on Tuesday include those of Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama, with net positive ratings of 68%, 38%, and 21%, respectively.
Jimmy Carter, whose presidency and legacy are being celebrated this week after his death late last month, had one of the most dramatic upticks in favorability toward his presidency since leaving, according to the pollster.
Carter had a net negative 32% positive rating when he left office in December 1980 but now has a net 6% positive rating. Another president who has seen significant improvements in how they are remembered now versus when they left office is former President George W. Bush.
Biden will leave office on Jan. 20 after spending 48 of the last 52 years in elected office in Washington, D.C., serving as senator and then vice president before leaving for four years and returning as president in 2021.
