The Highs and Lows: Trump’s Approval Ratings at All-Time High, Bidens Tank Lower Than Ever
President-elect Donald Trump’s favorability rating jumped six points and hit a post-election high, while outgoing President Biden’s figures sank to a four-year low, according to a new poll.
Trump, 78, notched a 54% approval rating, one of his all-time highest, compared to about 46% who disapprove of him, an Emerson College poll found. Biden, 82, scored a 36% approval to 52% disapproval rating, the lowest Emerson has recorded in four years.
His pre-election approval rating clocked in at 48%, and in at least one earlier Harvard/CAPS Harris poll this month, had hit 54%. The incoming president is also viewed more positively by men (61%) compared to women (48%).
“Trump’s strongest age cohort is among voters 40 to 59, with 60% viewing him favorably, compared to 48% among those over 70. Notably, his favorability has risen among younger voters, with 55% of those under 30 expressing a favorable opinion,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.
Some 59% of white voters see him favorably, while 53% of Hispanic and 28% of black voters say the same.
Trump’s latest approval numbers are astounding, considering that he never cracked 50% approval during his first administration — nor in his post-presidency before his historic Nov. 5 blowout win against Vice President Kamala Harris.
When asked about their reaction to the 2024 election outcome, 46% of voters were surprised, compared to 54% who were not.
“There is a sharp difference in reaction to the election results based on who voters supported: 67% of Harris voters were surprised by the results, while 71% of Trump voters were not surprised by his victory,” Kimball explained.
Meanwhile, Biden’s job favorability rating sits at an abysmal 40% favorable to 55% unfavorable,
The Emerson College poll was taken from Nov. 20 to 22 and sampled 1,000 voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Well, the less you know. the better he looks.
The saying is as old as time for Democrat’s.
“You can fool some of the people some of the time”
” you can not fool all of the people all of the time”
Apparently —- Only the dumb ass 48% of the People!
Darren,
Dems took all but 3 of the top median income States.
Repubs took all but 3 of the bottom median income States.
Yeah, we be the dumb asses.
Stands to reason that the just elected but not yet in office President to be would understandably ride the crest of a win not a month old. While an out going President no two months from leaving office would not receive the best numbers.
We have yet to see where Trump’s approval numbers land after he is in office for 6 months to a year. For practical reasons the old saying that the proof is in the pudding means Trump must prove himself with his accomplishing most of his “mandate” supposedly given by the electorate upon his win in the Electoral College vote.
Biden made his impact quietly and effectively while people like Trump’s voters cheered on the indefensible bad actor who relishes attention then rails against some negative attention. He can not have both sides of the street but he thinks he deserves more.
Reality will come sooner than later and he characteristically will not handle reality well when it doesn’t fit in with his need for acclaim no matter if he has done something meriting it.
Acceptance percentages don’t mean anything real and substantive that will forecast how Trump’s revenge based retaliation might coincide with his mass deportation potential fiasco.
Then what will his approval numbers look like.
