Biden's approval rating over 50% as he approaches 100 days in office By: Alex Arger and last updated 2021-04-26 08:07:34-04 As President Joe Biden nears his 100th day in office, new polls show his approval rating is a few points over 50% â better than his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, but worse than Presidents Obama and Bush at the 100-day mark. In general, polls show that Biden gets good grades for his handling of the pandemic and government relief, but receives less support on border immigration issues. Top Republicans Sunday said the president is leading from the left. "I think he's been a very destabilizing president," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, said. "And economically, he's throwing a wet blanket over the recovery, wanting to raise taxes in a large amount and regulate America basically out of business. So I'm not very impressed with the first 100 days. This is not what I thought I would get from Joe Biden."
