Rasmussen Poll: Biden Rated Low

The Rasmussen Reports polling organization asked likely voters to rate Joe Biden’s first 100 days as president. Respondents were asked: “Have President Biden's first 100 days been a success, a failure or somewhere in between?”

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 36% of Likely U.S. Voters say Biden’s first 100 days first 100 days in office have been a success. Forty-four percent (44%) say Biden’s first 100 days have been a failure, and 18% say it’s been somewhere in between.

Statistically speaking, the modal (i.e., largest) respondent group views Biden’s first 100 days as a failure. Another way of thinking about it is slightly over a third are really satisfied with the Biden presidency. 

The first midterm election following a presidential election is normally viewed as a referendum on POTUS performance. Looking forward to the 2022 midterms, the GOP has to be heartened by these numbers.
