In the RCP Average, Trump’s approval rating hovered around 43% during his first term and currently stands at 46.9%.
Stacking this up against other presidents, he doesn’t fare too well. The only president with approval below Trump’s at this point in his presidency was Trump himself during his first term, at 38%. Bill Clinton’s approval rating in June 1993 was also close, at just 41%. Richard Nixon, in the middle of the June 1973 Senate hearings related to Watergate, and after top aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman had resigned, exceeded the approval of both Clinton and Trump, at 44%.
The tendency for most presidents is to have a generally high job approval at the start of their term, which then declines as they face their first major setbacks or controversies. Biden’s approval in June 2021 was 56% in the Gallup poll and around 53% in the RCP Average, but it dropped to 45.3% after the Afghanistan withdrawal, which was enveloped in chaos and resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members.
A 40% approval rating is approximately 30 points below the ratings of some of the most popular presidents. Of the presidents that Gallup measured, John F. Kennedy led the pack at 73% in June of 1961, followed by George H.W. Bush in 1989 at 70% approval, and Lyndon Johnson in 1965 at 67%.
