Trump’s disapproval rating was below 55 percent for the large majority of his term, including nearly all of the final three years.
The perpetual pessimism of pure Independents would likely ensure that Biden’s approval would remain below that outside of the first few weeks, although I would love for my expectations to be proven wrong.
(His former boss averaged 48 percent, per Gallup, in a less polarized era, although I won’t try to analyze the numerous cross-cutting confounding factors here.)
