Biden's Initial Approval Rating Is Higher Than Trump's Ever Was

Most voters give Biden positive marks for his job performance

56% of voters approve of Biden’s job performance, compared with 46% who approved of Donald Trump’s work at a similar point in 2017.

91% of Democrats approve of Biden versus 83% of Republicans who said the same of Trump at this time four years ago.

52% of voters hold favorable views of Vice President Kamala Harris, up 2 points from pre-inauguration polling, while 40% view her unfavorably, down 3 points over that time frame.


As the nation faces a pandemic, a weakened economy and political unrest that began under his predecessor, Joe Biden is enjoying a honeymoon with its voters.

Morning Consult Political Intelligence tracking conducted during the 46th president’s first few days in office shows 56 percent of voters approve of his job performance, while 34 percent disapprove. Biden’s approval rating is 4 percentage points higher than the 52 percent who approved of former President Donald Trump in an early March 2017 poll from Morning Consult and Politico — his best-ever showing during his presidency — and it looks even stronger compared to polling conducted at a similar point four years ago, when 46 percent approved of Trump’s initial work.

Is the predominance of those 34% range numbers. Those are the minority "Patriots" who want to rule the other 2/3 of us. It really appears that 1/3 of the country are Fascist wannabes.
