Now we're hitting the fall of Joe Biden*'s approval, which he never recovered from.
On September 20th, Joe Biden*'s approval rating in the aggregate was a -3.9 point spread. Trump's approval rating in the aggregate on September 19th is a -5.1 point spread.
Biden* sank from +19.5 on January 27th, 2021 to -3.9 on September 20th, 2021. Or a fall of -23.4 points.
Trump sank from +6.2 on January 27th, 2025 to -5.1 on September 19th, 2025. Or a fall of -11.3 points.
Joe Biden* only had 1 period after today where he fell back below -3 points on the spread, and only 3 more instances where he fell below a -6 point spread. Most of the rest of his single term was spent in the double-digit negative.

Enjoy the next week or two where Biden had one of his last approval rating bumps of his single term.
Because after that, you two morons will never be able to use Trump's approval numbers against him through 2028. It's all downhill for you from there.

Enjoy Joe Biden*'s last approval bump this week.
We're 13 days away from Joe Biden* falling off a cliff, and unless the world economy takes a shit, Democrats and the Legacy Media will never be able to talk about Trump's approval rating again.
FYI: If the approval percentages in the thumbnail for the video Jaynez posted in the previous reply are accurate, Trump is ahead of GWB and Barack Obama, and only a few points behind Reagan.

TL;DR = Trump's Approval rating today is one tenth of a point higher than Joe Biden*'s was 4 years ago today.
The aggregate has him at 45.4% today, with a -7.2 point spread.

Joe Biden* had a 45.3% approval on 9/30/2021, with a -4.7 point spread. Joe Biden*'s upswing peaks and ends on October 5th and it's all downhill from there.
9/29/2024 was a Sunday, so I took the 30th because it makes Joe* look better than the 28th did. Even with the better Monday number for Joe, Trump is ahead of where Joe Biden* was at this point in his presidency. We will be having fun looking at these approval ratings late next week.

Joe Biden* was right in the middle of his last large upswing of his entire Presidency, which ends on October 5th. On October 11th, Joe* will be at -9.5 points. There will only be 3 more points in time where Joe Biden* had a spread better than -7.0 during his single term, with the vast majority of the rest of his term being in the double-digit negative.
BTW... Trump's approval is already better than Joe's was today. So unless Trump slides into oblivion over the next 2 weeks, his approval numbers are going to smash Joe Biden*'s going forward as of October 11th and beyond.
ETA: Just to note, historically, anyone ending their 1st term with 45% approval on the aggregate almost certainly gets reelected in the next Presidential election. It's only a little harder for them to win the Presidential election at 45% when they have to run somebody else because it was the end of the 2nd term.

Leftards Celebrate!
4 years ago today was Joe Biden*'s lowest negative spread for the rest of his single-term Presidency.
https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/joe-biden/approval-rat
ing
45.3% Approve. 48% Disapprove. -2.3 Spread.
Six days from now, that spread will be -9.5, and it will only dip below -7.0 one more time for the rest of 2021. Most of his last 3 years were in double digit negatives.
Trump, meanwhile, is at 45.1% Approval, with -52.9% for a -7.8 spread.
