President Donald Trump has earned some rather dire job approval numbers from a conservative polling firm that the Trump administration has previously touted.
Rasmussen Reports released a national survey Monday conducted Feb. 2-4, showing 56% of more than 1,000 likely U.S. voters disapprove of Trump’s performance during his second term in the White House.
Rasmussen is widely considered a politically conservative polling outlet and said in September that Trump had a 57% approval rating, which raised public skepticism, rebukes from major news outlets and a self-congratulatory social media post from the White House.
In the new survey, Trump was hit hard when compared to President Joe Biden. When asked who did a better job, 48% said Biden — and 40% chose Trump.
“Most voters don’t think America is living in the ‘Golden Age’ that President Donald Trump promised in his inaugural address, and nearly half say he’s doing a worse job than his predecessor,” Rasmussen wrote Monday.
