President Joe Biden's dismal approval rating is starting to show signs of a turn around after a recent stretch of accomplishments that few saw coming earlier in the summer.
Joe Biden spoke at a campaign rally in Philadelphia. Drew Angerer poses for a picture.
The approval rating for Biden, which is a weighted average of a number of polls, went from 37.5% on July 21 to 40.6% on Wednesday, the lowest of his presidency so far.
It is the largest rally in Biden's approval rating.
Biden's low came just days before Sen. Joe Manchin signed off on more than $360 billion in spending to combat climate change after he held up earlier versions.
According to FiveThirtyEight, Biden's approval rating is still lower than that of Trump.
The day after Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, fell to the Taliban, Biden's approval rating fell below the 50% mark. A bombing that killed 13 Marines in Afghanistan on August 26 marked a turning point in the presidency of Vice President Biden as his administration started facing heavy criticism from across the political spectrum. According to FiveThirtyEight, Biden's approval rating fell from over 50% in late July to under 45% by the end of September, as voters expressed frustration with the highest inflation in more than 40 years.
The Democrats were expected to suffer major losses in the November elections due to Republican candidates attacking Biden's record. According to FiveThirtyEight, Democrats are favored to retain control of the Senate, with some betting markets suggesting Democrats may actually expand their majority in the chamber. The House is expected to be taken over by Republicans.
