Just FYI, The RCP Favorability Polls Are In On Trump's Last Weeks As POTUS, And Biden's First.

Trump ended his presidency with a -15% spread on his approval/disapproval ratings, and Biden STARTED his with a +18 spread.

That's right, the number of people who disapprove of Trump's performance outnumbers the number of people who approve by 15%. While the number of people who approve of Biden's performance outnumbers the number of people who disapprove by 18%.

You have to take these numbers with a grain of salt, given that RCP (for some reason) still includes that propaganda outlet RASMUSSEN, who consistently fluff the Republican ratings by a good 10%. So, once you've kicked Rasmussen to the curb, in reality Trump probably finished his presidency with a negative 25% approval rating, while Biden is starting his with a positive 28% approval rating.

I LIKE IT!
