Joe Biden is least popular Commander in Chief at this point of his presidency in the last seven decades, according to a new poll.

The 81-year-old averaged 38.7 per cent job approval during his recently completed 13th quarter in office, which began on January 20 and ended on April 19.

During this period, Biden has had to deal with ongoing pressure over the US's response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza as well as the migrant crisis.

None of the other nine presidents elected to their first term since Dwight Eisenhower, who served from 1953 to 1961, had a lower 13th-quarter average than Biden, according to the Gallup poll.

George H.W. Bush had the previous lowest 13th-quarter average approval rating, at 41.8 per cent in 1992.

Biden’s immediate predecessors in office Donald Trump and Barack Obama averaged 46.8 per cent and 45.9 per cent job approval, respectively, at the same point in their presidencies.

Dwight Eisenhower, had the highest average for a president at this stage of his presidency at 73.2 per cent.

In second place was Ronald Reagan, with a 54.5 per cent approval rating after his 13th quarter.

In the most recent Gallup poll, conducted between April 1-22, 38 per cent of Americans approve of the job Biden is doing.

This is not much different from his March (40 per cent) and February (38 per cent) readings.

Biden continues to get extraordinarily low approval ratings from Republicans, just two per cent in the latest poll, but his rating from independents is also weak, at 33 per cent.

The vast majority of Democrats, 83 per cent, continue to evaluate Biden’s performance positively.

This week, Biden spoke to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to discuss the latest developments in negotiations over a ceasefire in Gaza and the dangers of a military escalation in Rafah.

Biden urged Sisi and Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, whom he spoke to separately, to exert all efforts to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas "as this is now the only obstacle to an immediate ceasefire and relief for the people of Gaza," the White House said.

A Hamas delegation is in Cairo to deliberate on Israel's response to a ceasefire deal.

The Egyptian presidency's statement said: "President Al-Sisi stressed the necessity of full and adequate access to humanitarian aid, reviewing the intensive Egyptian efforts in this regard."
