Joe Biden Ranked 'Worst President' in Modern History, Poll Reveals

[Social Media]

 

A recent poll has delivered a scathing assessment of Joe Biden’s presidency, ranking him as the worst U.S. president in nearly five decades. Conducted by J.L. Partners and involving 1,006 registered voters, the survey invited respondents to rank the last nine presidents from best to worst. The results placed Biden at the bottom, with a significant portion of voters expressing strong disapproval of his time in office.

 

 

In this exclusive poll, published by the *Daily Mail*, Biden fared worse than controversial figures like Richard Nixon, who resigned amidst the Watergate scandal, and Jimmy Carter, whose single-term presidency was marked by high inflation and a failed hostage rescue in Iran. While Nixon scored a net approval of negative 25 and Carter endured sharp criticism during his tenure, Biden's net score plunged to negative 30, making him, in the eyes of voters, the least effective president since the 1970s.  

 

James Johnson, co-founder of J.L. Partners, described the results as "diabolical." He noted that while sitting presidents often face challenges in popularity rankings due to recency bias, Biden's scores were unexpectedly low. Johnson attributed these numbers to several key issues during Biden’s tenure, stating, “Voters have obviously looked at his age, general conduct in office, his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the situation at the southern border, and decided that, in their view, it qualifies him to be the worst president in modern history.”  

 

The poll also revealed that 44% of voters ranked Biden among the bottom two presidents, while only 14% placed him in the top two. Comparatively, even Nixon, whose presidency ended in disgrace, managed a more favorable perception.  

 

Biden’s presidency has faced sustained criticism on multiple fronts. His controversial handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the ongoing challenges at the southern border, and his perceived lack of dynamism in office have contributed to his declining popularity. Recent events, including his decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, convicted on gun and tax charges, have further eroded public trust. More than half of American voters surveyed believed the pardon was a mistake, pushing Biden's already low approval rating down to 37%.  

 

The poll highlights Ronald Reagan as the most favored president, celebrated for his leadership during the Cold War and his economic policies, which voters credited with reducing inflation and creating jobs. Barack Obama, the first African-American president, secured the second spot, while Bill Clinton ranked third, showing that Biden’s poor standing cannot solely be attributed to partisan bias.  

 

As Biden, now 82, prepares to leave office on January 20, 2025, the Democratic Party faces significant challenges. Biden’s decision to abandon his reelection campaign in July, amid lagging poll numbers and pressure from his allies, has left Vice President Kamala Harris with limited time to establish a strong campaign. Senior Democrats have expressed frustration, suggesting Biden’s decisions have paved the way for a potential Republican victory.  

 

From defeating Donald Trump in 2020 to being perceived as a leader who failed to prevent his return, Biden's legacy appears deeply tarnished in the eyes of voters. Johnson summarized the public sentiment, saying, “From the man who beat Trump to the man who let him back in, voters feel Biden has been fundamentally a bad president.”

This is going to make a few heads explode on AN, as they maintain that Trump is the worst.

 

 

While I agree about Biden, I fail to understand how GW Bush only has 12% disapproval.

I would have put him worst for his war on a lie.

[Gobbler]

How many of the idiots and morons here supported and defended Biden? 

 

Name and shame them.  Better, if you are on of the morons, step forward, admit it, and beg our forgiveness.

Agreed , they have two choices - either go further left or right towards the middle. Problem is though that the far left democrats are unable to budge from their stance and are more likely to form another party than be reasonable. This could actually be the end of the democrat party as a political force as we knew it if they cannot come together.

"Exclusive Poll" is most likely the explainer for the result as posted.

The average US citizen didn't need a poll to know Joe had lost the plot a long time ago. 

The election result proved that.

The election results were skewed by the $1.5 billion the Dems dumped into it, and all the celebrities (many paid...) who sided with Harris.  In a head up election, they would have been trounced even worse.

Daily Mail is a rag news service. Almost a tabloid if you will... I can see why Bidens ratings as Prez are so bad compared to all others. But do not agree with their take on the elections. Even if Harris had more time she would not have won the elections. She was unfit for the job and knew nothing about politics and was never able to say anything in her campaign about her ideals and stance on topics and was very flippant. 

The facts about the money Harris spent on her campaign and how she spent it will forever tarnish her from politics again.Except maybe in California haha.. 

[illisdean]

Biden/Harris ignored US laws, and broke them and allowed 10's of millions of illegal, unvetted, aliens to enter the US including 600,000 known felons, 13,900 murderers, 3,000 rapist, up to 2M got-aways, etc and facilitated their travel into (chartered flights) and within America (free airfare on commercial flights & bus transport). Thats human trafficking 101 folks. Trump I do declare ran his AMERICA FIRST campaign which included among many other items, on reestablishing a secure border and immigration reform and to deport illegals and he's begun work on it and expects to have the immigration reform plan ready February 2025. Trump was elected for a reason, and it was not because Biden and his team of misfits enjoyed the slightest measure of positive achievement in their intentional illegal immigrant crisis. Trump and his crack team will restore America to the nation and all it's glory it was before Biden / Harris took a wrecking ball to it, especially on immigration.

Your linked survey was from Feb 2024.  Before the debate, the bloodless coup and the historically stoopid pardon.

 

[Airalee]

Obama would fall way further down the list….probably at the bottom if people mathematically understood the debt that he roped them into in both housing (all the mortgage workout scams) and higher education.

 

”People have to be able to afford their loans” he said.

 

All he did was knowingly put people into the noose of unsustainable debt and then, when they were suffocating….he loosened it just enough in order to ensure that they would forever be a slave.

 

Why not look at the cost of education rather than the cost of a loan?  
 

Because then he couldn’t ensnare the sheeple with a debt millstone.

 

His housing workouts were especially egregious in states such as California where a person could have initially walked away from the toxic neg-am loan with no repercussions as a purchase money mortgage is non-recourse. This means you can walk away and not owe anything.  
 

As soon as the person was given any mortgage workout (usually done with a massive balloon payment tacked onto the end of the original 30 year mortgage which would require another 30 year mortgage to pay off (hello….generational debt slavery!), the loan would become full-recourse meaning that you could never walk away from the debt.

 

Educational debt had the involvement of both political parties (don’t just point the fingers at the democrats oh ye conservatives) where students were slowly squeezed more and more until educational debt could not be expunged via bankruptcy.  Unfortunately, most students were too I’ll prepared in high school to even understand the ramifications of signing on that dotted line.

 

https://www.therollinsfirm.com/a-little-history-about-the-student-loan-bankruptcy-ban/

 

But it was Obama who pushed people into housing at the peak of the bubble and then subsequently into student debt.

 

Biggest conman ever in my opinion.  But people, even to this day, don’t understand what happened nor how it happened.

 

Debt is the new slavery….and serfdom is back to stay.

 

Let’s party like it’s 1399*

You're coming from the illusion that fact checkers and "bias indicators" aren't as biased as the ones they're rating.  Some of them, even worse.

Doesn't change anything as Trump isn't president yet so his claims of what he thinks he'll do mean nothing. Its based on his factual history. Comprehension is important, try it some time. Google for yourself and you'll find plenty showing equivalent rankings. There was no bloodless coup so you can pack that one you know where.  if you really wanna talk about a pardon from Biden then compare that to the charges against Trump being withdrawl ONLY because he got elected not because he was innocent or they were without merit. If you want to debate come with facts and links.
