Most voters say Trump doing worse than Biden as president: Poll
The Hill ^ | 02/03/26 | Max Rego

Posted on 02/03/2026 2:11:09 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

A January survey from Harvard University and The Harris Poll found that a slight majority of respondents believe that former President Biden was more effective than President Trump.

The poll, released Monday, found that 51 percent of respondents said Trump is doing a worse job than Biden, while 49 percent said the president is doing a better job than his predecessor. The same survey conducted in December found that 53 percent of respondents said Trump is faring better than Biden did.

The latest results also mark a stark reversal from February 2025, when 58 percent of respondents to the Harvard-Harris poll said that Trump was faring better than Biden.

Both leaders are underwater with respondents, with Trump viewed unfavorably by 8 percent more respondents than those who viewed him favorably and Biden viewed unfavorably by 10 percent more respondents than those who viewed him favorably.

Trump and his administration have faced scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers and the American public in the wake of the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis last month.

The latter of the two incidents, the Jan. 24 shooting of Alex Pretti by Customs and Border Protection agents, prompted the president to send White House border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to take over the federal immigration enforcement operation there.

REALITY, Republicans are ahead on almost every issue of importance.

Yet the Democrats have ran the table on nearly every special election since Trump was elected.

And the poll held in the voting booth is the only poll that matters.

Oh so how come Biden didnt run again he could have won LOL

How come? Easy answer.

He wanted to. He thought he could win.

It was the Democratic establishment that pushed him out.

More Horsepuckey from Horsepuckey Central.

Bongino pointed out a Kimberly Strassel End-Of-The-Year 2025 article on the Accomplishments of President Trump.

“”U.S. is producing more than 24.2 million barrels of oil a day, “more than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined,” and 108 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day, as much as Russia, Iran and China combined.””

Drill Baby Drill works every time.

“”Rule slashing: OMB is touting 2025 deregulatory stats, and they are impressive. Trump promised a 10-to-1 deregulatory ratio (10 rules out for any new one) but far exceeded that pace, with OMB claiming a total of 646 deregulatory actions compared with five (in total) regulatory actions, for a ratio of 129 to 1. OMB says this equals nearly $212 billion in net cost savings, or about $600 per American.””

Outside of the Leftist Insane Asylums, gasoline prices have plummeted. Regular Americans are living with a better, more respected, and yes, more feared America.

The New York Slimes and Washington Compost have published articles “wondering how the huuuuge drop in murders and crime could have happened.”

With the huuuuge influx of criminals during the Hussein/Biden/Harris Regime, the drop in crime is even more impressive.

Sure! And Kamala coulda beat George Washington too

In 1788. No.

In 2024. Maybe.

Many Americans, especially the young, believe that Washington was an evil, patriarchal, rich, racist, slave owner.

RE:...a meal at a fine French restaurant ...

Ahhh.

An amuse bouche of some kind to begin and then a piece de resistance of Peeps as a desert. For what more could a gourmet ask?

Bon appetite.

Biden was more effective at his goal: destroying America.

Destroying a 20,000-piece Lego creation is easy, especially when you have help from every institution in the country.

Building it back up is much, much tougher - especially when you’re doing it on the seashore with the constant waves of the corrupt media, judges, Deep State, etc constantly washing away whatever you put together.

Biden’s handlers - the communist cabal’s Deep State - was very effective at what they wanted to do.

Trump’s work is much harder and much nobler, and it seeks to reverse decades of corruption. It’s not gonna happen in a day.

Like elections Havard & their polling partner, The Harris Pol, created responentss out of thin air, because Biden was being crushed in their polling. Does the article even state the poll error percentage? Get used to these push polls that are designed to sway people to fear that the midterms are lost. It’s Clinton by 99% Deja Vu all over again. 🤣👍

Harvard is lending its name to a methodologically flawed poll that often promotes a right-wing political agenda.

Every month, the Harvard-Harris Poll (a partnership between Harvard’s Center for American Political Studies, The Harris Poll, and HarrisX) administers a public opinion survey that tracks Americans’ attitudes on a wide range of political and social issues.

It’s no secret that the Harvard-Harris Poll is inaccurate and misleading. A number of experts from both sides of the aisle — including statistician Nate R. Silver, Democratic pollster Geoff D. Garin ’75, Republican pollster Chris Wilson, liberal journalist Josh M.J. Marshall, and conservative law professor Ilya Somin — have criticized the survey. FiveThirtyEight, a public opinion blog that aggregates political polls, recently ranked Harris Insights & Analytics in the bottom 50 percent of American pollsters.

I wonder how many of those were decided in Belgrade, Serbia, by the Venezuela/Cuba/China/Iran/Russia/Serbia cabal.

Tough times for us, as voters lash out. Get ready for Trump impeachment 3.0.

And the poll held in the voting booth is the only poll that matters.

If Republicans lose NC, OH, and ME, while GA and MI stay Democratic, the Senate ends up 50–50, and if Murkowski switches to (or caucuses with) Democrats, that gives Democrats 51–49 control of the Senate.

2026 Ohio Governor - Ramaswamy vs. Acton

The control of the Senate may go down to Collins, she's the favorite to win. But who knows?

The only poll that matters is Election Day. We’ve had 25 elections since the presidential in 2024. Again, the only poll that matters is Election Day.
