That poll did, however, also indicate Trump\u2019s favorability rating is actually improving, a trend that continues with the Harvard numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the new numbers, Trump has a 45% favorability rating, and even though he remains slightly underwater (-3 points), it is significantly better than the ratings for Biden, who is 14 points under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump, in fact, is now viewed more favorably than Biden, Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (-16) and Nancy Pelosi (-18), and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (-25).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which makes it all the more perplexing as to why Trump receives overwhelmingly more negative media coverage than any of those individuals who are more roundly looked down upon by the American people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf2 2024 Presidential Election Poll: <br><br>(R) Trump: 46% (+5)<br>(D) Biden: 41%<br><br>(R) Trump: 48% (+8)<br>(D) Harris: 40%<br> .<br>(R) DeSantis: 42% (+3)<br>(D) Biden: 39%<br><br>(R) DeSantis: 43% (+3)<br>(D) Harris: 40%<br><br>Harvard\/Harris | Jan 18-19 | 2,050 RV<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/b6wspC6HMh\">https:\/\/t.co\/b6wspC6HMh<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/x5hRdiJMc9\">pic.twitter.com\/x5hRdiJMc9<\/a><\/p>&mdash; InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IAPolls2022\/status\/1616994104327475201?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 22, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump Tops Biden in 2024 Poll<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new Harvard poll shows devastating numbers for President Biden across the board though, as an aside, that didn\u2019t seem to equate to votes at the polls for Republicans during the midterms when his numbers were equally as dismal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, they remain worthy of noting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over six-in-ten voters say the country is headed down the wrong track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite White House officials telling the American people how great the economy is, 66% say it too is on the wrong track, an increase from the last survey. Trump, by contrast, had numbers saying it was on the right track consistently in the 60-70% range prior to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A vast majority (54%) of Americans view their personal financial situation as getting worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, Biden\u2019s approval rating sits well below 50% in nearly every major category, including the economy, fighting terrorism, immigration, crime, and inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps even worse, only 41% think the President is mentally fit to serve in the White House, while 59% say they \u201chave doubts about his fitness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The majority of Americans say the economy is \u201cweak\u201d and that their financial situation is actively \u201cgetting worse\u201d according to a recent Harvard-Harris poll.<br><br>That\u2019s because Americans are POORER than when Biden took office after losing thousands of dollars to Bidenflation.<\/p>&mdash; Tommy Pigott (@TommyPigott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TommyPigott\/status\/1613992354725171219?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 13, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump or DeSantis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, we get it. Biden is a failure. Across the board he has let the American people down, including the wide-eyed optimists who voted for him. But who is positioned best to take him down in 2024?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new poll shows another trend that has remained steady. The fact that Trump is the overwhelming favorite amongst Republican voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Morning Consult poll showed Trump far outpacing his closest probable competitor, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, by 17 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Harvard survey shows Trump ahead of DeSantis by 20 points, former Vice President Mike Pence by 41 points, and former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley by 45 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haley, as The Political Insider\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/thepoliticalinsider.com\/nikki-haley-to-take-on-trump-in-2024-she-claims-shes-not-going-to-lose\/\" target=\"_blank\">reported last week<\/a>, has made it clear she is likely to challenge Trump for the Republican nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#39;I CAN BE THAT LEADER&#39;: Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley hints at 2024 presidential run during exclusive interview with Bret Baier <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KAa7qnjzgl\">pic.twitter.com\/KAa7qnjzgl<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fox News (@FoxNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNews\/status\/1616222207893438464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve never lost a race,\u201d Haley said on a potential run. \u201cI said that then, I still say that now.
