Joe Biden's approval rating is already higher than Trump's has ever been, a new poll has found

trump never came close to these approval numbers https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-approval-rating-higher-donald-trump-gallup-poll-2020-12

A new poll has found that President-elect Joe Biden is already more popular among Americans than President Trump has been at any point during or immediately before his presidency.

Biden's favorability rating rose by 6 points to 55% since the election compared to his last pre-election survey, according to a Gallup survey carried out after the election.

Over the same period, Trump's favorability rating decreased by 3 points to 42%.

The latest poll, of 1,018 US adults was carried out between November 5 and November 19, when President Trump's campaign was filing multiple lawsuits in an ultimately futile attempt to challenge the outcome of the election which he had lost.

Favorability and Approval are two different measures- Biden's approval won't be polled until 1/20. Fiendish Thingy Jan 2021 #2
Wow that's quite a finer point to pick at. Kudos to you for Laura PourMeADrink Jan 2021 #5
Go to 538 - they have archives of both measures for several presidents. Nt Fiendish Thingy Jan 2021 #7

...frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the coronavirus' approval rating is higher than Trump's has ever been, too.

The one that had him as Most Admired Man (he got 18%, and I think Obama and Biden together had almost 30%).
Why doesn’t he highlight this poll, and point out that there must have been election fraud since Biden only won by 4+% while the approval rates show a 13% gap?
