68% of public does not want Trump to remain a major political figure in the future
Pew Research Center conducted this study to examine the publics reactions to the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, including a look into Americans views of Joe Biden as the president-elect and thoughts about the insurrection that took place at the Capitol earlier this month. For this analysis, we surveyed 5,360 U.S. adults in January 2021. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of Pew Research Centers American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories. Read more about the ATPs methodology.
Here are the questions used for the report, along with responses, and its methodology.
Chart shows Biden post-election conduct viewed positively; growing criticism of Trump
As Joe Biden prepares to take office just days after a deadly riot inside the U.S. Capitol, 64% of voters express a positive opinion of his conduct since he won the November election. Majorities also approve of Bidens Cabinet selections and how he has explained his plans and policies for the future.
Donald Trump is leaving the White House with the lowest job approval of his presidency (29%) and increasingly negative ratings for his post-election conduct. The share of voters who rate Trumps conduct since the election as only fair or poor has risen from 68% in November to 76%, with virtually all of the increase coming in his poor ratings (62% now, 54% then).

(19,193 posts)I think it will be below 35% after the weekend. Glad for this, we're dealing with about 1/3 the country, not 1/2 or even 40%.

(11,655 posts)Before foxnews/talk radio/facebook era people actually got somewhat reliable news... now everyone burrows into what they want to hear and the approval numbers don't fluctuate in response to what actually happens as they once did.
