Jan 19, 2025, 04:24 PM

President Joe Biden is set to leave office with the lowest approval rating of any first-term president on record, according to recent polls. A CNN Poll and CBS News polling both indicate that only 37% of Americans approve of the job Biden has done during his presidency. This figure is lower than any approval rating he received throughout his term and is even lower than former President Donald Trump's approval rating of 39% in January 2021. In contrast, Trump's favorability rating has reached a record high of 47% ahead of his inauguration scheduled for the following day.
