President Donald Trump was hoping for a nice bump from the Republican National Convention. So far at least, it doesn’t seem he got one, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll. After the convention, only 31 percent of Americans said they had a favorable view of the president, that is one percentage point less than the previous poll, when it stood at 32 percent. That difference is well within the poll’s margin of error.
The poll, which was taken from August 28 to 29, also shows Americans continue to broadly give a thumbs down to the president’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic with 63 percent saying they disapprove of the way he has dealt with the crisis. The poll also found Americans didn’t like what they heard at the RNC. Overall, 59 percent of Americans said they disapproved of what the Republicans said and did at their convention. That number stands in stark contrast to the 53 percent who approved of the message at the Democratic National Convention. Chief among the criticism? Sixty-two percent of Americans say Republicans spent too much blaming Democrats for problems.
Even though Trump and the Republicans spent much of the convention trying to portray former Vice President Joe Biden as a dangerous candidate, it seems the country wasn’t swayed by the talking points, as his approval rating remained steady at 46 percent, compared to 45 percent from last week. Biden did enjoy a five-point bump in favorability after the Democratic National Convention. Among Democrats, Biden enjoyed an even larger seven-point convention bump. That is a stark contrast to Trump, who saw his favorability decline by four points among Republicans.
