President Joe Biden is on the best presidential honeymoon since at least Bill Clinton in 1993.

A special online edition of the CNBC All-America Economic Survey focusing on the Biden agenda finds his approval rating at a sky-high 62%, beating the first presidential ratings of Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. In fact, Biden’s initial rating is 18 points higher than Trump’s.

The survey of 1,000 people conducted earlier this month sees Biden with majority approval for his handling of the economy and for uniting the country. Sixty-five percent of the public approve of his actions so far when it comes to fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

Unlike Trump, Biden “has made the coronavirus his most important issue in office and throughout the campaign,” said Jay Campbell, a Hart Research partner and the Democratic pollster for the survey. “And the health and economic plans he has put forward have a great deal of resonance with the public.”

1. I think we did good with Biden.

He was always my first choice. I figure if Obama choice him, thats good enough for me. Tongue in cheek, but it was a consideration for me at least.

5. Biden Was My First Choice Too - He Had Many Strengths That People Just Couldn't See

Twitter is full of folks admitting that Biden wasn't their 1st, 2nd or even 3rd choice but now they see that he was the perfect choice. He's impressing folks across the political spectrum which is reflected in his overall approval numbers. In our partisan environment getting 60% approval is unheard of. The Media needs to focus on that extraordinary approval but they're too focused on Trump's declining approval with Republicans.

7. The Bernie fans on my FB Feed are very happy with Biden so far

They've nit picked some of his appointments here or there, but on his orders and the policy goals he's laying out they are blown away. They really can't believe he's doing all these things that they have been begging for.

8. I'm on Bernie's spectrum and I agree - Pres Joe is delivering BIG for progressives

Compared to any President in my life time, going back to LBJ who also delivered a very progressive social agenda. Unfortunately LBJ also had Vietnam.

I am so impressed so far. He actually gets it.

Pres Joe is also polling very well among the younger crowd, which is so heartening for Our future as a country.

2. The country is breathing a collective sigh of relief

which is creating positive outlook, but part of that is being compared to Trump. A grapefruit could get better ratings than Trump. We are in an economic mess that Biden inherited, and he must be skilled to solve it. He is the right man at this time.

3. Even my crazy BIL says he has to admit it is much calmer now.

4. Go Joe!!!

[Dawson Leery]

6. I was not expecting a 60+ approval rating.

as the nation is deeply divided.

[Tommymac]

9. Democrat's are polling 98% favorable for Pres Joe. THAT'S UNITY

The nation is NOT as divided as the MSM sensationalists would have you believe.

Yes, there is a division between the stupid and the sane - but the vast majority of folks, including both parties, support his programs.

The vocal extremists are shouting and gyrating and speaking in tongues so they get more attention because rating$.

[Turin_C3PO]

13. Sane people are in the clear majority.

Don’t let right wing media fool you. They’re a dwindling minority.

[BigmanPigman]

10. tRump will now be the poster boy for the lowest bar

of all US POTUSes (past and future). He is in his own separate category and comparing him to others is like apples and oranges. In history books he will be exposed for the true traitor he is. He stands alone.

[oasis]

11. Biden's got the "know how" and the team to Build Back Better. nt

[Cha]

12. Kick!

[onetexan]

14. Wow! Better than all the past 3 (the Con doesn't count) previous POTUS ratings - even Obama

really impressive! I think in part because the country was collectively exhausted of how horrible 45 was that Biden, the natural fit, seems overwhelmingly impressive. If we had had a fairly "normal" previous president/administration i don't think Biden's ratings would be as high.

That said, Joe has always been my first choice and his great rating doesn't surprise me
