A recent Gallup poll revealed that Barack Obama enjoys the highest favorability rating among Americans compared to other living presidents. The survey, conducted from January 21-27, showed Obama with a 59% approval rating, significantly higher than any other president included in the poll.
Gallup polled Americans to find out which of the five living presidents is their favorite. No. 1 was far ahead of the others. All five can be seen in this picture from former President Jimmy Carter's funeral in January at Washington National Cathedral in Washington. Joe Biden is in the front row at left. In the second row are Bill Clinton , left, George W. Bush , Barack Obama and Donald Trump .
Bill Clinton, Bush’s predecessor, also had a net favorable rating, winning approval of 48%. The survey found 41% viewed him negatively, while 12% had no opinion. Although Trump’s ratings are about equally split between positive and negative, Gallup said they are among his best since the polling organization first measured opinions of him in 1999.
Biden’s ratings are barely better than his worst evaluation since he became a well-known political figure, Gallup found. In June 2024, the favorable/unfavorable split for Biden was 37%/61%, given concerns about his issue positions and his age.
