The president’s drop in recent weeks comes as he continues to grapple with the pandemic, an immigrant surge at the southern border, a weak jobs report, flaring violence in the Mideast and more. According to Rasmussen’s daily Approval Index History, his new rating is compared with around 43% approval for former President Donald Trump in the same period in his presidency and 57% for former President Barack Obama.
