ISTANBUL (AA) - US President Joe Biden's approval rating averaged 38.7% during his 13th quarter in office, according to a recent survey released on Friday.
US research firm Gallup revealed that Biden has the lowest support with a rate of 38.7% among all US presidents during their first terms.

Notably, three out of four presidents with below 50% who sought reelection were unsuccessful, but Obama is the exception.
Among presidents who were reelected, including Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, their 13th-quarter averages ranged between 51% and 55%.
Dwight Eisenhower had the highest average at 73.2%.
Biden's latest quarterly average ranks 277th out of 314 presidential quarters recorded by Gallup since 1945, placing it in the bottom 12% of all presidential quarters.
