6 Months in Office, How Biden's Approval Rating Stacks Up Against Trump's

President Joe Biden has reached the six-month mark of his time in the Oval Office on Tuesday. While his approval lags behind that of former President Barack Obama's, Biden is more appealing to voters than former President Donald Trump
The economy and immigration were at the forefront of voters' minds six months into Trump's first term, and the same is true for Biden. Two signature issues of his campaign and presidency, Trump has berated the Biden administration since leaving office for dismantling his policies. However, polling shows Republicans generally approved of Biden more than Democrats who sided Trump.
Six months into his first term, Biden has an overall approval rating of 53 percent, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling. That includes about 88 percent of Democrats and 17 percent of Republicans.
At the same point in Trump's presidency, Reuters/Ipsos polling found he had an overall approval rating of 38 percent, with only 10 percent of Democrats and 77 percent of Republicans on his side.

Biden also had a leg up on Trump when it comes to independent voters. While 52 percent of them approved of Biden's job performance, only 26 percent backed Trump at the same point in his presidency.
It's common for the economy to be a top issue for voters, and Americans have similar views of how Biden and Trump tackled the issue halfway through their first year in office. Both men only received a 48 percent approval rating on their handling of the economy at that particular juncture of their presidential term.
One major difference between the first six months of Trump's presidency and the first six months of Biden's is the COVID-19 pandemic. Closing down in person gatherings, stores and restaurants last year drove up unemployment to levels not seen since the Great Depression, and the economy still has yet to recover from the pandemic.

Jul 16, 2017 — President Donald Trump already had low approval ratings. Now they've gotten worse and the commander in chief has the dubious honor of having …
Former President Donald Trump’s time in office is over. He’s been impeached twice and banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. But if his presidency was a roller coaster, his approval ratings were not.
Trump left office with steadier approval ratings than his most recent predecessors, an analysis of NBC News/Wall Street Journal polling data from January 1993 to this January shows. Trump’s approval rating remained within the same 9-point range for his entire presidency: 47 percent at its highest in October 2018, and 38 percent at its lowest in October 2017.
