Donald Trump is constantly comparing himself to Joe Biden and coming out on top. Funny about that. But the voters have other ideas. A Harris poll of registered voters in February 2025 showed that 58% saw Trump as a better president than Biden. In December 2025, that was down to 53%. Now by a margin of 51% to 49%, the voters think Biden was a better president. The direction is ominous for Trump, and he cares about this a lot.
Both presidents are underwater, but Trump is deeper under water, with a net -10 vs. Biden's net -8. On the economy, Trump is also down. Now only 47% think the economy is better under Trump than under Biden. Among independents, 6 in 10 think it is worse now than under Biden. (V)
