Under the radar: Data show big shift in voters’ favorable perception of Trump
By M. Joseph Sheppard
While a 2020 presidential rematch appears almost inevitable, a majority of voters express disapproval for either Biden (61%) or Trump (53%) running again, according to the latest HarrisX poll. This marks a significant shift from an August 2022 report, where Biden had 60% disapproval and Trump had 70%. Favorability statistics further indicate an increasing acceptance of Trump's potential return to the White House in November.
In a head-to-head comparison, Trump is gradually surpassing Biden's favorability ratings, a trend rarely observed before. Real Clear Politics reports the current spread:
Joe Biden Favorable 38.9 Unfavorable 55.6 (-16.7) and Donald Trump Favorable 39.9 Unfavorable 55.3 (-15.4).
Simultaneously, the generic congressional vote is trending toward Republicans (+1.5%), and Trump leads Biden by 1.6 points in current head-to-head polling. This shift is remarkable, considering that Trump lost the popular vote by 4.5 points in 2020.
