A recent survey by Rasmussen Reports reveals that a majority of American voters perceive former President Donald Trump’s tenure as a success, contrasting sharply with their assessment of President Joe Biden’s performance in the White House.

According to the survey conducted on February 5-7, 2024, involving 749 Likely U.S. Voters, 56% consider Trump’s presidency successful, with 22% labeling it a complete success. In stark contrast, only 40% view Biden’s presidency as successful, with a mere 9% deeming it a complete success.

While partisan sentiments heavily influence perceptions, independent voters notably favor Trump’s presidency over Biden’s by a significant margin of 19 points. Among Republicans, a striking 88% regard Trump’s term as successful, while 69% of Democrats believe Biden’s presidency has been successful thus far. However, among unaffiliated voters, 53% see Trump’s presidency as successful, compared to only 34% for Biden.

Interestingly, a substantially higher proportion of Democrats view Biden’s presidency as unsuccessful, with 13% labeling it mostly unsuccessful and 15% considering it a complete failure. Conversely, only 5% of Republicans see Trump’s presidency as mostly unsuccessful, with 6% deeming it a complete failure.

Women are more inclined than men to perceive both Trump and Biden’s presidencies as complete failures.

Regarding racial demographics, 57% of whites, 46% of black voters, and 59% of other minorities deem Trump’s presidency at least mostly successful, while 37% of whites, 54% of black voters, and 39% of other minorities view Biden’s presidency in a similar light.

Younger voters, particularly those under 40, are less likely to view Trump’s presidency as a complete success, while those aged 40-46 are more inclined to consider Biden’s presidency a complete failure.

Additionally, voters with college degrees tend to perceive Trump’s presidency as less successful.

The survey also reveals differing perspectives based on employment status, with government employees more likely (57%) than private sector workers (37%) or retirees (38%) to view Biden’s presidency as at least mostly successful.

Income disparities also play a role, with 64% of voters in the highest income bracket (> $200,000/year) seeing Biden’s presidency as mostly successful, compared to only 34% of those earning between $30,000 and $50,000 annually.

Moreover, Democrats widely support states’ decisions to exclude Trump’s name from 2024 election ballots, while, notably, the Republican Party holds a substantial advantage over Democrats in terms of voter trust on crime-related issues, nine months ahead of Election Day.
