Approval numbers other than those of Rasmussen are stronger than the electoral result for the President, which is amazing at this stage.
Gallup's record show that Trump had slipped from 44% to 38% approval between inauguration and July 2017. Biden has been stuck around 55-57%, which is excellent considering how polarized American politics have been in the last twenty years or so. Gallup may not be the perfect pollster, but Gallup Polling has been around since Harry Truman.
