Poll Shows Low Favorability for Trump, Harris

Recent polls indicate that both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have low favorability ratings, with Trump at 50% and Harris at 48%, marking some of the lowest in nearly seven decades according to Gallup. Trump's current rating is an improvement from his historic lows in previous elections, while Harris is facing a decline in her approval, with just 42% of voters approving of her vice presidency. There is a notable partisan divide in their ratings; while Trump is highly favored by 68% of Republicans, 80% of Democrats view him unfavorably, and similar trends are observed for Harris. Trump's approval rating reflects a resurgence in how voters perceive his past presidency, with 52% approving of his term, compared to 45% for Harris's current role. The polarization between parties is evident, with both candidates experiencing strong negative ratings among opposing party supporters. As the 2024 election approaches, the pressure is on both candidates to enhance their public perception amidst these challenges.
