Jimmy Kimmel Surpasses Trump by 16 Points in YouGov Favorability Poll

Jimmy Kimmel announced on his talk show that a recent YouGov poll showed he has a 16-point lead in favorability over President Donald Trump, with Kimmel at +3 and Trump at -13 net favorability. Kimmel humorously remarked that even finding a toenail in a salad has a higher approval rating than Trump and mocked the White House's response, which accused Kimmel of praying to garner some of Trump's support amid declining ratings. The White House spokesperson highlighted Trump's 77 million votes in the last election and criticized Kimmel's show's viewership drop, prompting Kimmel to joke about making a T-shirt with Trump's face and the word "Sad!" Kimmel also referenced controversies surrounding Trump, including allegations of criminal behavior and attempts to censor Kimmel's show during Trump's presidency. The poll and ensuing exchanges reflect ongoing tensions between the comedian and the current president, with Kimmel using satire to highlight Trump's poor approval ratings.
