Barack Obama's favorability compared to Donald Trump's—New poll
The poll found that 42 percent of Americans said they view Trump favorably, while 57 percent said they view him unfavorably, leaving the president with a net favorability -15 points. In the same poll, 57 percent of Americans said they view Obama favorably with 40 percent saying they view him unfavorably, giving him a net favorability of +17.If you do the math, a -15 (Trump) and a +17 (Obama) means a difference of 32 points, making it a landslide.
Why It Matters
Trump’s favorability and approval rating could prove to be a key metric for Republican support ahead critical New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races next month and 2026 midterm elections in Congress.Both presidents won the popular and electoral votes. This year, the Trump supporters have been throwing down the throats of Democrats that Trump won this election and that it means that Americans wants Trump. Well, this NEW poll shows that right now (after what Trump has done since Inauguration Day), Americans would prefer Trump to step down and a Democrat to get into office.
