Newsweek - On Day 1,202 of his presidency, only 38.6 percent of Americans are giving Biden positive marks, according to FiveThirtyEight's aggregation. No other president since the 1940s has seen an approval rating lower than 39 percent at this point in his presidency. For a recent comparison, Trump had an approval rating of 43.9 percent on Day 1,202 of his presidency, Barack Obama had 48.7 percent, and George W. Bush had 47 percent, according to FiveThirtyEight. Every president starting with Harry S. Truman has had a higher approval rating than Biden. On Day 1,202 of Truman's presidency, in July 1948, his rating was just slightly higher than Biden's, at 38.9 percent. His successor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, was at 70.3 percent at the same point in his presidency.
