President Biden faces Jimmy Carter-like approval ratings as he barrels towards the end of his first term and Election Day in November.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s job approval rating stands at 38%, just one point above his all-time low and far below the 50% rating typical of presidents who are re-elected, according to a new Gallup survey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Biden\u2019s overall job rating has slipped to 38%, and his ratings on immigration, the Israel-Hamas situation, foreign affairs and the economy are even lower,\u2019 said Megan Brenan, a research consultant at Gallup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018He has lost some ground among his party in recent months on immigration and the situations in the Middle East and Ukraine, though his overall rating hasn\u2019t dropped among Democrats.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s numbers are reminiscent of modern one-term presidents, including Carter, who averaged a record-low 37.4% after his third year in office. Former President Donald Trump, whom Biden defeated in 2020, left office in January 2021 with a personal all-time low 34% approval rating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A clear majority of Americans, 59%, disapprove of how Biden has performed in office, according to the poll.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president has negative numbers on major issues facing the U.S., but his worst issue by far is immigration. Only 28% of survey respondents approve of how the president has handled the border, while a walloping 67% disapprove.<\/p>\n

Americans have also soured on the president\u2019s handling of foreign affairs, with 62% disapproval of his leadership amid the Israel-Hamas war; 53% disapproving of Biden\u2019s record on Ukraine; and 62% disapproving of his handling of foreign affairs in general.<\/p>\n

\u2018Biden\u2019s approval rating has not risen above 44% since August 2021, and his 39.8% average rating for his third year in office was the second worst among post-World War II presidents elected to their first term,\u2019 Brenan observed.<\/p>\n

If there is a silver lining for the president, it\u2019s that Americans are slightly more upbeat about his handling of the economy. Low unemployment, stabilizing inflation and record-high stock market numbers have contributed to a four-point increase in his approval ratings on the economy to 36%, up from 32% in the last Gallup survey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That incremental increase was buoyed by independents, who moved six points in Biden\u2019s direction to 30% approval on the economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The survey results show Biden has some work to do to recapture support from Democrats on immigration and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While about three-quarters of Democrats approve of his handling of the economy, only 55% approve of Biden\u2019s job on immigration, and 51% rate him positively on situations in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Overall, Biden\u2019s approval rating among Democrats stands at 82%, but is still lower than the near-unanimous approval Gallup recorded during his first 11 months in office, Brenan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Republicans unsurprisingly rate Biden poorly, giving him just 3% approval on immigration and 4% on the economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Independents give Biden a 32% approval rating, which is largely unchanged from previous Gallup surveys.<\/p>\n

The Gallup survey was conducted by telephone interviews from Feb. 1-20, with a random sample of 1,016 American adults living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The poll has a margin of error of +\/- 4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
