At the same point in his presidency, former President Donald Trump's approval/disapproval spread was 39-55, according to Gallup. In April 2010, former President Barack Obama stood at 48-45. George W. Bush, still riding the wave of post-9/11 unity, had an approval rating of 75 percent, while only 20 percent of respondents disapproved of his job performance.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Gallup had not yet released April job approval numbers for Biden. Gallup polling puts his lowest approval rating at 40 percent in the first half of Jan. 2022. According to Gallup, Trump hit his low point of 34 percent in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The Quinnipiac poll surveyed 1,412 U.S. adults from April 7–11 with an error margin of 2.6 percent.
