The American Prospect - Morning Consult had Biden with a 37 percent approval rating, against a 55 percent disapproval rating. That dismal approval number, however, was roughly twice the size of the leaders of France and Germany, and higher than those of all the leaders of the G7 nations save Italy, with whom he was effectively tied. Here, in descending order of approval, are the numbers:
Italy’s Giorgia Meloni: 38 percent approval to 55 percent disapproval
America’s Biden: 37 to 55
The U.K.’s Keir Starmer: 30 to 59
Canada’s Justin Trudeau: 26 to 68
Japan’s Shigeru Ishiba: 24 to 53
Germany’s Olaf Scholz: 19 to 75
France’s Emmanuel Macron: 18 to 75
Most leaders of major democracies that aren’t members of the G7 also came in with a negative balance. Spain’s Pedro Sanchez put up a 32 percent approval rating to 63 percent disapproval; Brazil’s Lula (before his emergency surgery) was at 42/53, and Poland’s Donald Tusk almost broke even, 44/45. It’s important to note the vast ideological spectrum of these leaders, ranging from the democratic socialism of Sanchez and Lula to the right populism of Meloni.
