Donald Trump humiliated as Barack Obama surges far ahead in new approval ratings race [View all]

Former President Barack Obama has higher favorability polling numbers than the sitting president, according to a new survey released on the day he’s set to open his presidential library.

snip

Obama sits at a 57% favorability rating, while Trump is viewed positively at 34% and Biden at 30%. It came as Trump was branded "creepy" for a "totally inappropriate" move on French president Emmanuel Macron's wife.

snip

Besides Obama leading in favorability in a rating nearly double that of Trump and Biden combined, he also polls more positively by independents.

Among independents, Obama has a 56% favorability rating, compared to 25% for Trump and 20% for Biden.

Democrats gave Obama a near-100 % positivity rating, with the former president at 96% within his party, compared to Biden’s 71% approval rating.
