As President Joe Biden’s job approval ratings plunge to near-record lows, even his own party thinks some Republicans did a better job.

A new Pew Research Center when asked to name the best president in recent history, Democrats named Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and even Ronald Reagan ahead of Biden, The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard reports.

Even self-proclaimed “liberals” were more likely to name Reagan as a better president than Biden.

Biden’s standing is likely to be even lower now.  The poll was conducted in July and September, when his approval ratings were higher.

Bedard reports:

Obama, whom Biden served as vice president, is still king of the hill nearly five years after he left office, replaced by Trump. Democrats chose Obama over Biden by about 13-1 and Clinton over Biden by an average of 3-1.

Worse, the percentage of Democrats who chose Biden as best was in the mid to low single digits, just behind Reagan among factions dubbed “Establishment Liberals,” “Democratic Mainstays,” and “Outsider Left” that Pew said make up 67% of the party.

Among the four groups identified within the Democrat Party, only the “Progressive Left” was more likely to name Biden better than Reagan, but even then it was only by an eight percent to three percent margin.

Additional Pew research finds that during Reagan’s presidency he was viewed favorably by an average of 31 percent of Democrats and 83 percent of Republicans.

The latest Gallup poll finds Biden with just 34 percent approval among independents.  A 2001 ABC News/Washington Post poll of Reagan’s post-presidency found 68 percent approval among independents.

  1. Even Obama who was rather poor president, who put the USA very low, was 13 times better for the democrat then Biden. But they still keep Biden at power. It show that they both are irresponsible who’ll bring our country to the level even low that anyone can imajin.

    1. The USA has at its helm anmentally incompetent man in Biden. Biden should be relieved and removed from the office of President at the earliest.
      His wife should be mocked and vilified in that she has not had him claimed as such.

  2. democrats didn’t like Reagan because there were communist democrat pedophiles that were in beaded into the democrat party!

  3. Biden the first president to INTENTIONALLY shoot for the “Worst In History ” title, Starting with his V.P. Pick, Press secretary, right on down through all of his cabinet Picks. The Worst Speakers in Both Houses, worst border security on the planet, he must be aiming for worst Record in History INTENTIONALLY.

  4. When Obama achieves his objective to turn the US into a Muslim country through his manipulation of the Biden administration, it will be too late for America to recover. Watch out women, Jews and Christians.

  5. The only thing Obama has over Biden is Obama had a coherent silver tongue and a slower, less aggressive approach to Socialism
