Lowest Opinion Of Trump Among Voters In Seven Years, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Biden Approval Rating Climbs
Share
As former President Donald Trump seeks to return to the Oval Office, 31 percent of registered voters have a favorable opinion of him, while 59 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him, the lowest favorability rating he's received among registered voters since July 2015, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll released today.
Among Republican voters, 70 percent have a favorable opinion of Trump, while 20 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him. This is the lowest favorability rating among Republican voters in a Quinnipiac University poll since March 2016.
Among independent voters, 25 percent have a favorable opinion of Trump, while 62 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him. This is his lowest favorability rating among independent voters since Quinnipiac University first asked this question of registered voters in May 2015.
Seven in 10 registered voters (70 percent) say they would not like to see Donald Trump as the 2024 Republican nominee for president, while 25 percent say they would like to see him as the nominee. Among Republican voters, 56 percent say they would like to see Trump as the 2024 Republican nominee for president, while 38 percent say they would not like to see him as the nominee. The Quinnipiac University Poll does not have a trend for this question.
Slightly more than half of registered voters (51 percent) say Trump should be disqualified from running for president again after he called to terminate the Constitution so that he can be reinstated as president, while 40 percent say he should not be disqualified.
"Is it a ripple of doubt or a growing tidal wave of rejection? Former President Trump's post presidential announcement numbers are heading in the wrong direction. You would have to go back at least six years to find less support for him from Republican, independent and American voters as a whole," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.
BIDEN
Registered voters give President Joe Biden a negative 43 - 49 percent job approval rating. This compares to a negative 36 - 55 percent job approval rating in a Quinnipiac University poll on November 22, 2022. Today's numbers are his highest marks among registered voters since September 2021.
Among adults, Biden receives a negative 40 - 50 percent job approval rating. This compares to a negative 36 - 54 percent job approval rating on November 22, 2022. Today's numbers are his highest marks among adults since August of this year.
Registered voters were asked about Biden's handling of...
- the response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine: 45 percent approve, while 46 percent disapprove;
- climate change: 41 percent approve, while 44 percent disapprove;
- foreign policy: 39 percent approve, while 52 percent disapprove;
- the economy: 39 percent approve, while 56 percent disapprove.
While Biden's handling of the economy is underwater, it's an improvement from a Quinnipiac University poll on November 22, 2022 when it was a negative 33 - 63 percent.
"A year-end post midterm bounce for President Biden gets him to his best approval among voters in more than a year, riding in part on signs of an improving economy," added Malloy.
As President Biden considers seeking reelection, 43 percent of registered voters have a favorable opinion of him, while 49 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him. His lowest score in a Quinnipiac University poll was in July 2022 when voters gave him a negative 37 - 57 percent favorability rating.
Among Democratic voters, 85 percent have a favorable opinion of Biden, while 8 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.
Nearly two-thirds of registered voters (64 percent) say they would not like to see Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee for president, while 27 percent say they would like to see him as the nominee. Among Democratic voters, 48 percent say they would like to see Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee for president, while 43 percent say they would not like to see him as the nominee. The Quinnipiac University Poll does not have a trend for this question.
SUPREME COURT
More than half of Americans (54 percent) disapprove of the way the Supreme Court is handling its job, while 35 percent approve.
Registered voters give the Supreme Court a negative 36 - 55 percent job approval rating, which is the lowest job approval among registered voters since Quinnipiac University began asking the question in 2004.
JANUARY 6
As a special congressional committee prepares to release its report on the findings of its investigation into the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Americans are split on the way the committee is handling its investigation as 44 percent approve and 45 percent disapprove.
More than half of Americans (54 percent) say the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 was an attack on democracy that should never be forgotten, while 41 percent say too much is being made of the storming of the U.S. Capitol and it is time to move on.
More than 6 in 10 Americans (64 percent) think former President Trump bears a lot (45 percent) or some (19 percent) of the responsibility for the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, while 34 percent say he bears not much of the responsibility (13 percent) or none at all (21 percent).
A slight plurality of Americans think former President Trump committed a crime with his efforts to change the results of the 2020 presidential election, as 47 percent think he did commit a crime and 43 percent think he did not commit a crime. This is similar to findings from a Quinnipiac University poll on July 20, 2022.
"Never forget, say a majority of Americans who believe January 6 was an attack on democracy, and in a separate question believe former President Trump bears much of the responsibility for the storming of the Capitol," added Malloy.
RACISM & BIGOTRY
Roughly 4 in 10 Americans (43 percent) think racism and bigotry in the United States is on the rise, while 13 percent think it's on the decline, and 40 percent think it's staying about the same.
Six in 10 Americans (60 percent) think prejudice against Jewish people is either a very serious problem (30 percent) or a somewhat serious problem (30 percent), while 35 percent say it is either a not so serious problem (20 percent) or not a problem at all (15 percent).
Slightly more than half of Americans (51 percent) think prejudice against Jewish people, antisemitism, represents a growing threat to Jewish Americans, while 40 percent think it is not a growing threat.
More than half of Americans (57 percent) think prejudice against LGBTQ people in the United States is either a very serious problem (32 percent) or a somewhat serious problem (25 percent), while 36 percent say it is either a not so serious problem (20 percent) or not a problem at all (16 percent).
SAME-SEX COUPLES
Nearly 7 in 10 Americans (68 percent) support allowing same-sex couples to get married, while 22 percent oppose it.
Americans 56 - 36 percent think that businesses should not be allowed to refuse service to same-sex couples.
ELON MUSK & TWITTER
Thirty-six percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of Elon Musk, while 33 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him, and 26 percent say they haven't heard enough about him.
Thirty-seven percent of Americans approve of the way Elon Musk is running Twitter, while 37 percent disapprove, and 25 percent did not offer an opinion.
When specifically asked to rate Twitter's handling of misinformation on its social media platform, 23 percent of Americans say Twitter is either doing an excellent job (4 percent) or a good job (19 percent), while 55 percent say Twitter is either doing a not so good job (26 percent) or a poor job (29 percent) of handling misinformation. Twenty-two percent of Americans did not offer an opinion.
"He's very, very wealthy but not very, very popular. Americans who know who Elon Musk is, give him mixed reviews. Those who are familiar with how he is running Twitter feel about the same," added Malloy.
Seven in 10 Americans (70 percent) think social media companies like Facebook and Twitter do more harm than good, while 18 percent say the companies do more good than harm.
THE YEAR AHEAD
Looking ahead to 2023, roughly 4 in 10 Americans (43 percent) think the next year will be better for them personally than this year, while 20 percent think it will be worse, and 34 percent think next year will be about the same as this year.
