Polls from Marquette Law School gave Biden the worst approval ratings nationally this December. The president's rating thus continues to plummet, with 34% approval to 66% disapproval.

The Marquette data was taken from a sample of 1,000 citizens between Dec. 2 and 11. The rating is an low for the Democrat in this poll, since he took the White House in 2021.

Donald Trump's rating in the same poll rose to 53%, while his disapproval stands at 47%. This is a 3-point improvement since October, before the November election.

This is Trump's highest approval rating since March, when this retrospective approval question was first asked in Marquette's national poll.

The poll also assessed the approval ratings of nominees to be part of the future Trump administration after his inauguration. Marquette's data gives the nominees a failing grade, with 51% disapproval to 49% approval.

The choices of the candidates to fill the main positions in the administration had some ups and downs over the last few weeks. The most notable was the withdrawal of Matt Gaetz, cornered by an alleged sexual assault case.

Hunter's pardon, Biden's downfall

The poll gauged Americans' opinions on Joe Biden's presidential pardon of his son Hunter. The case has significantly dented the president's public image.

Only 29% of the sample surveyed approved of the decision to pardon Hunter Biden, while 71% disapproved.
