Despite Trump's low approval ratings and several unpopular policies, a recent Emerson College poll suggests he still commands a loyal base of voters. A theoretical rematch with Kamala Harris in 2024 indicates a nearly indistinguishable electoral outcome compared to the previous election. Harris is preparing for her political comeback amid these findings. Poll results reveal a split opinion on Trump's presidency, with ongoing concerns about the economy contributing to his overall disapproval ratings, although he retains some favorability in select policy areas.
Despite several unpopular domestic and foreign policies, President Trump still holds an entrenched base of voters who, if given the chance, say they would vote for him again.
The poll was released hours before Harris, 60, makes her much-anticipated return to the political spotlight Wednesday evening with her first major address since losing to Trump.
Trump's popularity troubles are largely driven by growing consternation about the economy, which he routinely touted during both his first term and the 2024 campaign.
Emerson found that Trump had a positive favorability rating in just two of nine policy areas: immigration (45% approval, 44% disapproval) and higher education (45% approval, 36% disapproval).
