According to a recent Gallup Poll, former President Donald Trump is viewed more favorably than Vice President Kamala Harris.
46 percent rated Trump favorably, while 44 percent rated Harris favorably. On the flip side, 53 percent rated Trump unfavorably and 54 percent rated Harris unfavorably.
Mediaite calls the poll a “flashing red warning sign” for Harris.
From Mediaite:
While the numbers are similar and within the margin of error, they illustrate a shift that should serve as a flashing red warning sign for the Harris campaign.
Since August, Harris’s unfavorable rating has gone up five points, while Trump’s has gone down two. On the other side, Trump’s favorability has gone up five, while Harris’s has gone down three. Trump winning over Americans at this stage in the campaign and after being omnipresent on the national stage for the last eight-plus years is a brutal indictment for Harris of how many Americans view their match-up.
Historically, neither Trump nor Harris has held a high rating in this poll with both languishing in the 36 to 37 percent favorabilty range for most of 2023, with Trump’s number starting to tick up after he announced another White House run in late 2023. Harris’s number surged to 47 percent following her becoming the party’s nominee but has since dipped again.
…
For most Harris supporters it is all but inconceivable that more Americans could like Trump than Harris, but according to Gallup that is a very real possibility and one Harris’s camp doesn’t seem ready to combat.
