According to the poll, conducted between July 10 and 16, the share of Republican and Republican-leaning independents who view the former president as “unfavorable” has risen from 24% in 2022 to 32% in 2023.
The poll also found that Trump’s “favorable” rating amongst Republican and Republican-leaning independents has decreased over the past year, going from 75% to 66%.
The Pew survey found that Democrats’ view of the former president hasn’t shifted over the past year: 91% of Democrats found Trump “unfavorable” in 2022 as well as 2023.
And yet, according to the FiveThirtyEight average of major polls, Trump has a huge lead over the rest of the GOP contenders, garnering an average of 50.8% support in national polls.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis comes in second with a distant average of 19.4% support.
