President Biden has had a historically unpopular period in his third year in the White House, according to a new poll.
Gallup on Thursday released a report on presidential job approval ratings through 2023, noting that his performance in his third year was rated worse than any president since Jimmy Carter.
Gallup looked at data from more than a dozen polls and found that Biden's average approval rating was 39.8%.

This result was the lowest approval rating for a president in his third year in office since 1974, when Carter averaged an average approval rating of 37.4%.
Biden's approval rating remained at about 48.9% in his first year in office, and rose to about 41% in his second year.
His approval rating hit record lows of around 37% in April, October and November of last year.

Former President Donald Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination from Biden this November, recorded an approval rating of 42% in his third year in office.
After winning the Iowa caucuses earlier this month, Trump compared Biden to Carter, saying Biden was the “worst president ever.”
After the Republican victory, President Trump said of Biden, “I don't want to be too rough with the president, but I have to say he's the worst president in the history of our country. He's destroyed our country.'' “There is,” he said. He received 51% of the vote in Iowa.

Trump went on to argue that Carter, who was widely criticized not only for the 1979 Iran hostage crisis but also for his poor handling of the economy that led to high inflation and unemployment, was “better than that.”
