As our own Doug Powers wrote in a VIP post earlier Saturday, President Joe Biden has the distinction of having the lowest 13th-quarter approval average since Dwight Eisenhower.
Somewhat remarkably, Jimmy Carter had a higher approval rating than either Barack Obama or Donald Trump at this point in their presidencies. I've always considered Carter the worst president of my lifetime, and Ronald Reagan's landslide victory proved I wasn't alone.
Dana Loesch has a question:
For the people who lived through Carter: Who was/is worse? Carter or Biden?
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 26, 2024
I lived through Carter. I remember out-of-control inflation, gas lines, the Iranian hostage crisis, the malaise speech, and more. But to me, Carter just seemed incompetent — he wasn't actively trying to destroy the nation. Biden, on the other hand, seems hell-bent on letting in illegal immigrants even as sanctuary city mayors beg for him to do something. Plus Biden is a pathological liar.
Chris Loesch took a poll:

Such a hard question to answer. If we had real, unbiased surveys of historians about the worst Presidents in history, Carter, Obama and Biden would all be in the bottom 10 in American history.

Biden by a bazillion %.

Carter was wrongheaded and weak, but was ethical and loved America.
Carter didn't want to "transform" the country.
Biden. Carter was out of his depth, but he didn't hate America and did not actively work to destroy our quality of life.

Worst presidents in US history:
— BonkDaCarnivore (@BonkDaCarnivore) April 26, 2024
1) Biden
2) Franklin Pierce
3) Jimmy Carter
In the case of Carter, he at least meant well and was just proof that sometimes brilliant engineers make terrible leaders. But literally giving away the Panama Canal was a bridge too far
Is this a serious question? Biden is worse by orders of magnitude, and you know this.

Biden. Carter was a good man who just had some bad decision making. He had some real good characteristics.
— Apparatchik-Fil-A (@EJay70) April 26, 2024
Theres nothing redeeming about Biden.
Biden, but Carter was brutal. Many farmers committed suicide. Jobs were impossible to find and gas was expensive. However we had a better justice system and everyone understood communism was evil.

President Carter is a good man who had disastrous policies. I can’t think of anything admirable regarding Joe. Nothing.
— RW (@RWfreespeech) April 26, 2024
Biden was worse. Carter didn’t intentionally destroy our country.

Carter's mistakes were based on naivety
— Michael P Pregent (@MPPregent) April 27, 2024
Biden's actions are intentional
Carter was sincere but weak
Biden is weakness behind a deviant smile
The consensus in the replies is that Biden wins by a mile. People tend to agree that Carter was a good man who was out of his depth, while Biden is actively working to destroy the country. A lot of people say that Biden is evil while Carter was well-meaning.
That's what I thought was so odd about the Robert Hur report. He thought a jury would find Biden to be a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. But what would they find well-meaning about him? What's well-meaning about having classified documents in your garage?
Biden was a completely different person when Carter was president. The idea that he was a "centrist" in 2020 is ridiculous. He seems more concerned with the Transgender Day of Visibility than millions of illegals pouring over the border.
Definitely Biden.
