A poll by The New York Times and Siena College has revealed an increase in positive perceptions of Donald J. Trump’s presidency since his departure from the White House. The data reveals that just 25 percent think Joe Biden’s tenure has been “mostly good for America” while 42 percent feel the same about President Trump’s first term in office.
A stunning 46 percent say Biden has been “mostly bad for America,” with just 33 percent saying they feel that way about Trump.
The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, has detailed more of his findings – including that just 52 percent of Biden 2020 voters are pleased with his performance – in the Editor’s Notes below this post.
The shift in views, with nearly half of respondents asserting that the country improved under his leadership, contrasts with sentiments ahead of the 2020 election. Then, only 39 percent of voters believed the nation was better off after his inauguration.
This change in perspective is seen not only among Mr. Trump’s core supporters, such as non-college degree white voters, but also across a wider segment of the electorate including Hispanic voters, those over 30, and the majority of lower to middle-income voters. All these demographic groups now view Mr. Trump’s presidency as more good than bad.
