As President Joe Biden gets a Democratic challenger in Rep. Dean Phillips, a new poll showed that his approval rating among Democrats has dropped 11 points in one month and is at the lowest of his presidency.
While 75 percent of Democrats still approved of 80-year-old Biden, that number had stood at 86 percent in the September Gallup poll.
Gallup's October numbers, released Thursday, showed that Biden lost ground with independents too, going from 39 percent approval in September to 35 percent this month.
His overall approval rating for the month stood at 37 percent, down from 41 percent in September and averaging 40 percent over the last quarter.
That means that his quarterly average approval rating at this point in his presidency is lower than all but one of the post-World War II presidents, only beating Jimmy Carter, who had an average approval rating of 31.4 percent.
Former President Donald Trump, who was also plagued by low approval numbers throughout his four years in office, was doing slightly better than Biden - averaging 40.7 percent.
Both Carter and Trump lost their reelection bids.
Carter attracted a Democratic primary opponent, Sen. Ted Kennedy, which he fended off, but went on to lose to Republican President Ronald Reagan the next year.
Trump lost the 2020 race against Biden after mishandling the coronavirus pandemic response.
Democratic President Barack Obama was averaging a 41 percent approval rating during this point in his administration and went on to win reelection against now Sen. Mitt Romney the following year.
