46% of Americans Approve of Carter’s Post-Presidency Work

Former President Jimmy Carter’s post-presidency has been marked by significant humanitarian efforts, earning him a 46% approval rating for his work after leaving office. Despite a challenging presidency with double-digit inflation and a national malaise, Carter’s later years have been viewed more positively. His involvement with Habitat for Humanity and his role in international diplomacy have contributed to this perception. However, during his term, his administration struggled with economic issues, including inflation rates that soared into the double digits. Public opinion during his presidency was also affected by his campaign promise not to lie, which later turned into public disappointment. His post-presidential activities have somewhat overshadowed these earlier struggles, highlighting a notable shift in public and historical perception of his legacy.
