In recent news, a new poll has revealed that former President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit a new low. According to the latest survey by ABC News/Washington Post, only 38% of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance, while a staggering 60% disapprove.
This marks a significant drop in Trump’s approval rating since leaving office earlier this year. In fact, the poll shows that his approval rating has dropped by double digits since the start of his presidency. This decline may be a reflection of the controversial actions and decisions made by Trump during his time in office, including his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, his incitement of the Capitol riot on January 6th, and his numerous false claims of election fraud.
The poll also indicates that Trump’s support among Republicans has decreased, with only 76% of GOP respondents approving of his job performance. This suggests that even within his own party, Trump’s popularity is waning.
In contrast, President Joe Biden’s approval rating stands at 63%, showing a stark difference between the two leaders. Biden has garnered praise for his handling of the pandemic, the economy, and other key issues facing the country.
It is clear that Trump’s divisive actions and rhetoric have taken a toll on his public image, with a majority of Americans now expressing disapproval of his performance as president. As the country moves forward under new leadership, it remains to be seen how Trump’s low approval rating will impact his future political career.
