Poll shows that the majority of people believe Biden will be remembered negatively as he bids farewell to the country.

A recent poll indicates that over half of Americans believe President Biden will be remembered as a below-par or one of the worst presidents in the country's history.

A Marist poll released on Wednesday revealed that just over a third of adults nationwide believe Biden will be remembered as one of the worst presidents in American history, with 19% saying he will be considered a below-average president.

An above average or one of the best presidents in the nation's history was considered the legacy of Biden by 19% of participants, while 28% believed it would be average.

Hours before President Biden delivers his farewell address, a poll was released, and only days remain before his term ends and President-elect Trump assumes the presidency.

Biden's Oval Office speech will likely focus on solidifying his legacy as a leader who stabilized domestic politics and strengthened America's global leadership, while also leading the country out of the COVID-19 pandemic and making significant investments in infrastructure and clean energy.

In a letter to Americans, Biden highlighted that when he assumed office in 2017, the country was facing the worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.

He boasted that our economy is the strongest in the world, with 16.6 million new jobs created and wages on the rise. Inflation is decreasing, and the racial wealth gap has reached its lowest point in 20 years.

The Marist poll marks the second consecutive national survey suggesting that history may not view Biden favorably.

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

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

Biden will be inaugurated as Trump's successor on Monday, Jan. 20, marking the end of the president's single term in the White House.

A USA Today/Suffolk University poll shows that 44% of respondents believe Trump will be remembered as a failed president.

19% of respondents considered Trump a good president, while 27% believed he would be viewed as a fair one.

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.

In a Marist poll conducted four years ago, 47% of respondents believed that Trump, who was finishing his first term, would be remembered as one of the country's worst presidents.

Biden's approval rating is 42% and disapproval is 50% in Marist's latest survey, while he was at 43%-54% approval/disapproval in the USA Today/Suffolk University poll.

During his first six months in office, Biden's approval rating remained low to mid-50s. However, his 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 rating 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.

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

With the upcoming presidency of Trump, a Marist poll shows that 44% of Americans view him positively while 49% hold a negative opinion.

Since Trump's victory in the presidential election in November, polls have shown a rise in opinions about his first term. After Biden dropped out of the race, Vice President Harris became the Democrats' 2024 standard-bearer in July.

According to the poll, Americans have high expectations for Trump's performance in the economy.

Despite the general dissatisfaction of Americans with the current economy, the poll shows that people are becoming more optimistic about their own financial future.

Undocumented immigrants are a topic of division among Americans regarding Trump's proposed mass deportations, according to the survey.

Over 60% of people surveyed do not support Trump's plan to pardon his supporters who were found guilty of participating in the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

A Marist poll was conducted from January 7th to 9th, involving 1,387 adults nationwide. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.
