Fox News Poll Says 22 Percent Think Trump Was Best POTUS Ever And 42 Percent Say He Was The Worst

In a sign of our increasingly polarized politics, a recent Fox News poll finds that 22 percent of Americans believe President Donald Trump will be remembered as one of the country’s greatest presidents — while 42 percent say he’ll be remembered as one of the worst.

The poll lists results from other surveys throughout Trump’s presidency, and shows clues why Trump lost his reelection battle. While his overall approval/disapproval rating remained fairly consistent through most of his term, the number of Americans rating the economic trends as “poor” trended noticeably downward over the past year, undercutting one of his key arguments for reelection. This most recent poll finds 34 percent rating the economy as poor, with 32 percent in the October 27-29 poll right before the election, compared to 16 percent in the October 27-30, 2019 poll.

Fourteen percent said the economy was poor in the January 19-22, 2020 poll, and that number skyrocketed to 37 percent in the March 21-24, 2020 poll, as the pandemic was just getting a foothold.

2020 also saw a growing number of Americans say they and their families were worse off than they were four years ago, with 24 percent saying they were worse off in the the February 23-26, 2020 poll and ending with 30 percent in this most recent December poll.

I remember thinking that history would not be kind to Reagan. I was incorrect.

sexists

The reason I say that is because the mishandling of the pandemic, along with a whole host of other things, but also to a large extent because trump in an extremely vile and mean person

Reagan fooled a lot of folks with his personality, and they didn’t realize just how much his policies hurt people. Trump will not be able to do that
