Gallup survey results on favorability of the 5 living presidents

Former President Joe Biden’s favorability ratings have hit an all-time low, according to a recent Gallup survey of adults living in the U.S. In stark contrast, former President Barack Obama continues to be held in high regard by the American public.

The survey revealed that only 39% of respondents held a favorable view of Biden, while a staggering 57% viewed him unfavorably. This marked a significant drop in public opinion for the former president, who had just concluded his own White House tenure when the poll was conducted from Jan. 21-27.

On the other hand, Obama’s ratings remained strong, with 59% of respondents viewing the 44th president favorably, compared to just 36% who held an unfavorable view of him. This positive sentiment towards Obama underscores his enduring popularity among Americans.

In terms of other former presidents, both President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton were viewed favorably by 48% of survey respondents. However, Trump’s unfavorability rating stood at 50%, while only 41% viewed Clinton unfavorably.

Former President George W. Bush received positive ratings from 52% of those surveyed, with only 34% holding an unfavorable view of him. This suggests that Bush continues to enjoy a relatively positive public perception despite his controversial presidency.

The survey also highlighted the impact of former President Jimmy Carter’s passing late last year, reducing the number of living presidents to five. Carter’s absence from the political landscape has left a void in American leadership.

Overall, the Gallup survey provides valuable insights into public sentiment towards past presidents, showcasing the diverse range of opinions held by Americans. The margin of sampling error for the survey was ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, indicating a high level of accuracy in the data collected.

As we reflect on the changing dynamics of presidential favorability, it is clear that public opinion is a dynamic and ever-evolving force in American politics. The legacy of each president continues to shape the national discourse, influencing how we perceive past leaders and their impact on our country.
