Biden's already more popular than Trump's ever been (Gallup Poll)

Source: CNN

(CNN)Poll of the week: A new Gallup poll finds that President-elect Joe Biden has a 55% favorable rating and a 41% unfavorable rating.

The same poll gives President Donald Trump a 42% favorable rating and a 57% unfavorable rating.

Not enough attention, however, has been paid to the fact that the challenger was a fairly popular guy. He did not allow Trump to make this election a choice of the lesser of two evils.

trump is truly a loser. Born into wealth and white privilege, with no conscience and the willingness to destroy his country, he has said what the racists, never anything but repub voters no matter what, the self centred and evil religion fanatics, and traitors around him that were willing to destroy the post office, let blue states die of covid, support from foreign dictators and trump still LOST big.
