Within Biden's party, it has become settled wisdom that he is 'the most legislatively successful president since LBJ' or perhaps even 'since the New Deal'. Comparisons to FDR and LBJ are also casually thrown around in mainstream organs like Politico.
When Democrats began pressing him to give up the nomination after his disastrous debate with Donald Trump, the Times reported that Biden held back in part because 'he believes his polling should reflect what he sees as his accomplishments.'
Presented by NBC's Lester Holt with concerns from fellow Democrats about his age and ability to govern, Biden replied, 'I think one of the arguments that get made, you have the most successful presidency of any president in modern history, maybe since Franklin Roosevelt.'
Gallup measured President Biden's approval rating at under 36%, lower than any other president at this point in their term. A Pew survey pegged him at 32%, just a few points higher than Donald Trump's standing after January.
