Harvard poll: More than half of voters say Trump's D.C. actions are justified — and that he's doing a better job than Biden

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has steadied at 47%, and his approval compared to former President Joe Biden is on the rise, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released this week.

Trump’s overall approval has the highest marks from voters who are Republican, male, white, from rural areas, and between 25 and 44 years old. His approval rating is highest in several areas: fighting crime in U.S. cities (51%), immigration (50%), and returning America to its values (50%).

“Trump has really solidified his political base and is maintaining every point of it,” said Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.

The majority of voters, at 54%, believe his actions in D.C. are justified and that he’s doing a better job than Biden, a three-point increase from July.
