Donald Trump continues to have a low favorability score among Americans, new polling shows, despite being the likely Republican nominee after winning the lion’s share of primaries and seeing off his only remaining rival.
An ABC News/Ipsos survey of 536 U.S. adults, conducted between March 8-9, found that 29 percent have a favorable view of the former president compared to 59 percent who view him unfavorably.
It came after Trump secured all but one of the primaries on Super Tuesday—giving him 1,075 out of 1,215 delegates he needs to become the presumptive Republican nominee—which prompted former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley to drop out of the race to leave him unopposed. Primaries being held on Tuesday could push Trump over the line.
Trump’s popularity has remained largely unchanged since last summer. In similar polls conducted last year, which have a margin of error of 4.5 percent either way, he has hovered around a 30 percent favorability rating.
Gotta say, it’s nice to see a bit of hope for America.
Once the Supreme Court over-ruled Colorado (and every state) removing Trump from the ballots via the insurrectionist clause, I’ve essentially given up hope.
The current president is a senile moron, with the country begging for change, but the only other option put forward is a dementia ridden dictator deadset on dismantling Americas democracy to fuel his own petty vindications. That’s not good for anyone but Americas enemies.
A glimer of hope is welcome in the darkness.
Someone missed the state of the union.
The messaging now is Biden is too strong.
Try to keep up.
