Trump is seeing his highest favorability in the last four years as more Americans want Joe Biden to drop out of the race for president.
Here’s the latest via ABC News:
Trump’s favorability rating increased to 40% following last week’s events, marking his highest favorability rating in four years of ABC News/Ipsos polling. For most of the last four years, it has hovered in the low to mid 30% range.
Its high over the last nine years was 42% in August of 2020 according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted then.
Biden’s favorability rating is now lower than Trump’s, standing at 32% with 55% having an unfavorable view of the current president. There has been virtually no movement in Biden’s favorability rating over the last year. It stood at 33% during the first week of August 2023.
While Trump accepted his nomination among an adoring crowd of Republican supporters, Biden faces mounting pressure from Democrats on the Hill to bow out of the race.
According to the poll, it is a sentiment that is shared by a majority of Democrats with 60% saying he should drop out of the race.
In fact, slightly more Republicans, 44%, than Democrats, 39%, think the president should continue his campaign, echoing the belief of many in the Trump campaign that Biden would be easier to beat than an alternative candidate.
