POLL: Biden still more popular than Trump at same point in presidency


The Afghanistan crisis, the border crisis, Covid-19 controversies, rising consumer prices, questions about his mental acuity– yet President Biden still ranks slightly higher than President Trump did at the same point in their presidencies.

That’s according to the Daily Presidential Tracking Poll by Rasmussen Reports.

President Biden hit the 44% mark on Friday compared to President Trump’s 42%.

Meantime, in 2017 at this point in his presidency, Donald Trump was garnering headlines for being a target in Mueller’s “Trump-Russia” probe that ended up fizzling out, moving to end the “Dreamers” Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) illegal immigrant program, and ongoing media accusations of racism.

Trump hit a high point his first year in office year on Jan. 26, 2017, with 56% approval compared to Biden’s 48% at the same point.

  1. Yeah right! America wants to be locked down, require passports, and open borders. Also, a turncoat foreign policy leaving Americans to be slaughtered in Afghanistan. Biden is more popular amongst those who hate America and freedom

      1. Careful, there,
        I suggested hanging all corrupt politicians on a FB post and am doing 30 days.
        I suggested shooting human traffickers, mainly the ones that abandoned 25 kids in the desert. Luckily they were found in time. That got me 3 days and that comment was included as part of the reason for the 30 days.

        There were 2 comments with nothing but historical truth, one of which earned me 3 days, Again, the comment was used to determine the 30 days.

        I had two mild comments dating back to Dec 2020 which were used to determine the 30 days.

  2. This is true if you believe in any of these polls. Personally, I believe the majority, if not all, of all polls are corrupted. If they want me to believe their results, they should start publishing their results but also the methodology used. It is very sad that we have got to this point. The distrust in any organization is currently very high. Integrity is sorely lacking.

  3. Rasmussen isn’t “Democrat controlled”. The difference is look at how the press was treating each President at their respective times. Trump was being eviscerated by the media and his polls still held on. Biden is being protected and proclaimed by the media and this is as high as they can push him. This reveals that the fundamental popularity of Trump far exceeds that of Biden which makes perfect sense. Have to be able to read in between the lines. Rasmussen does a great job of reporting as-is values but it’s up to us to understand the context.

  4. Remember, Trump was hated from the moment he announced. Negative press, made up stories, people from his own party, the Swamp, being vocal about how bad he was, etc. The difference is there was a love fest for Biden and now people who supported him are regretting it and learning how bad he really is.

  5. Leads at this point but likely by the margin of error in these polls. Factor in how 90% of the media are Biden sycophants and 2022 should be interesting.

  6. Poll numbers mean little other than to political pundits looking for a talking point. They have been abused and used by polititcians and media alinke as a tool to put forth and fortify an agenda or pre arranged talking point. Another valid point, when Trump was at this stage of his presidency , his innaugeration had been boycotted, Dems and Media had already called for impeachment and Media was running with the russia Hoax and laughing at the claim He was spied on, Pravda was conservative free press by these standards

  7. All things being equal, if the mainstream media were treating Biden the way it treated Trump, Biden’s popularity would be in the single digits.

  8. Well, they sure did not ask me.
    The leftist msm spread lies during Trump’s entire term and no negatives during Biden’s admin.
    Thank you, Sharyl and your team for your work!

  9. Sharyl and Full Measure Team,

    Did you watch/hear former Deputy of
    National Intelligence, Sue Gordon, on
    Face the Nation just moments ago
    (( it’s 11:25 am, EST, at this writing )) ?

    Do you need more of a reason to find
    an apartment in, say, Switzerland—
    to survive what more INSANITY is
    coming from within “our own”
    government ?

    Clearly, there is nothing behind her
    forehead—except a strong penchant
    for duplicity !

  10. Who in their right mind would believe that polling company. Just more media lies. The crap Trump and his family were put through kept the stress in our nation high. It was and still is criminal. The Dems and their masters belong in prison. Let’s start with the star Hillary Clinton.

    1. I wish there was someone that could explain why people like Hillary are not in jail. Why is Biden and his son living free and someone like Trump is called every bad name in the book,treated like a garbage. What is wrong with our judicial system.

  11. Doesn’t this poll reflect poorly on the Democratic voter who does not see the serious damage Biden has done to this country compared to any other President let alone President Trump?

  12. Seems responders to that poll must still believe the National News Media is unbiased and are telling the whole story every evening.

    Are there millions of gullible Americans?

    Pollsters are prostitutes. I will not even take time to read this article. Sorry.. That being said I am no fan of Trump or Biden for that matter. They are both traitors and work only for banksters. Polls are good for garbage. They are sponsored propaganda and NEVER reflect reality whatsoever.

  14. Polls are just the media’s way of gauging how well/poorly their propaganda is working.. I refuse to answer most polls and sometimes lie on others.

    Considering those in the MSM, Establishment, Marxist libs, Deep State, China lovers, open border terrorists, RINOs, Never Trumpers, DumpofCraps and all of the other head wind against President Trump and the BS bias in polls, I think he is doing awesome.

  16. Any NYT item on any poll would favor the Dims over the previous administration. Bear that in mind when you read the numbers or text above.
