Initial Job Approval For Each President Since World War II


 The chart above shows the initial job approval numbers for each president since World War II. The numbers are from Fivethirtyeight.com. Note that Trump started lower than any other president, and never improved on those numbers. He's the only president to have never reached 50% approval at any time during his presidency. Bush II was the only president besides Trump to start with less than 50%, but his numbers improved drastically after the 9/11 tragedy.

Joe Biden starts with a 54% job approval -- about 9.9 points better than Trump.
