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.

A sad commentary on the intelligence of the “average voter”.

A 2% spread difference isn’t “most voters”.

The voters would rate Twinkies as the finest pastry item they ever tried and pork rinds as the fanciest hors d’oeuvres at their dinner parties.

There is a lot of positive news in the 86 pages of this poll. Right track/wrong track looks good, personal finances getting better - there are dozens of questions so the Biden vs Trump question is a footnote.

A lot of it comes from the media and how they frame things.

Even if you don’t watch Mass Media News, it still impacts how people feel about what is going on.

Even though we're not watching CNN and we have access to other sources of media, they were able to reframe the narrative after the initial discovery of the Somali fraud in Minneapolis by Nick Shirley.

This is so tiresome. No one believes these polls anymore. They are propaganda push polls that get pulled out to advance the Dem agenda. They are meaningless unless Republicans actually believe them and get depressed and don’t put the work into ensuring a midterm victory.
