Unfortunately, it seems that we do have fewer polls right now to help us do that during President Joe Biden’s administration compared with the Trump administration.

We can see this by looking at the number of polls asking about Biden’s job approval rating. There have been about 750 of those polls published, so it’s not like we don’t have any data.

A closer look reveals, however, how inflated that number is. More than 60% of those are from Morning Consult and Rasmussen Reports alone. The latter has a record of overestimating Republican candidates, and neither meets CNN polling standards.

Four years ago, there were about 1,070 polls released at this point on Trump’s approval rating. That’s 300 more approval polls than we’ve had about Biden at this point. The two pollsters who made up the most number of polls in this average were Ipsos and YouGov, and they accounted for just a little bit more than 40% of all the surveys about Trump’s approval rating. This is significantly less than the two top pollsters are making up of all the polls today.
