A recent poll shows that most Americans view Biden as either a "failed" or "fair" president.

As President Biden's time in office nears its end, a recent poll reveals that a significant portion of Americans believe he will not be remembered positively by history.

A USA Today/Suffolk University survey released on Tuesday found that 44% of voters nationwide believe history will view Biden as a failed president, while 27% believe he will be judged as a fair president.

A majority of those surveyed, 79%, did not view Biden as a good or great president.

On Monday, Jan. 20, President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the successor to President Biden, marking the end of Biden's single term in the White House.

According to the poll, 44% of people believe that Trump will be remembered as a failed president.

A fifth of people believe that Trump, who will start his second term next week, will be viewed as a great president, with 19% saying he will be considered good and 27% saying he will be judged fairly.

Trump's approval ratings were below 50% in his final year of office, with a 47% rating in a Planet Chronicle poll from four years ago.

Since Trump's victory in the presidential election in November, polling has shown a rise in opinions about his first term. After Biden dropped out of the race following a poor debate performance against Trump, Kamala Harris was named the Democrats' 2024 standard-bearer in July.

A USA Today/Suffolk poll shows that 52% of respondents approve of Trump's performance during his first term, while 45% disapprove.

The director of Suffolk University's Political Research Center, David Paleologos, pointed out that the shift among independent voters over the past four years was particularly noteworthy.

Paleologos stated that Trump's negative personal popularity among independents decreased significantly between December 2020 and today. Trump's unfavorability rating among this group went from a massive minus 22 to a negligible minus 5, with a slight increase in favorability from 35% to 42%.

While anticipating the future, 31% expressed excitement about Trump's return to the White House, with 18% reporting satisfaction. On the other hand, 12% admitted to feeling depressed and 31% expressed fear of a second Trump presidency.

As he departs from the presidency, 43% of respondents in a poll indicated they approve of Biden's performance, while 54% disapproved.

Despite initially maintaining a low to mid-50s approval rating during his first six months in office, Biden's numbers began to decline in August 2021 due to criticism of his handling of the U.S. exit from Afghanistan and a surge in COVID-19 cases that summer, primarily among unvaccinated individuals.

The decline in the president's approval was caused by rising inflation, which began in the summer of 2021 and remains a significant financial concern for Americans, as well as the influx of migrants attempting to enter the U.S. through the southern border with Mexico.

In the autumn of 2021, Biden's approval ratings sank below zero and remained negative.

A USA Today/Suffolk University poll found that nearly a quarter of respondents were undecided when asked to identify Biden's greatest accomplishment as president. Nineteen percent said that investing in infrastructure was his biggest achievement, while ten percent cited fighting the COVID-19 pandemic as his top health and economic concern when he took office four years ago.

According to a survey, approximately 30% of respondents identified Biden's handling of immigration as his biggest failure as president, while 20% cited the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Afghanistan in the summer of 2021.

A poll was conducted among 1,000 registered voters nationwide via phone from January 7th to the 1st. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
