The radical left is as obsessed as ever with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, desperately trying to blame Trump and thwart his potential 2024 run. The left-wing media has covered the committee investigation as much as possible and broadcast the primetime hearings on Thursday night.
But if the media thought this was an effective strategy, it just got some devastating news, as Trump’s political standing has only improved since Jan. 6, 2021, rather than getting worse.
“A majority of Americans (55%) now believe that Trump was either not or only partially responsible for the rioters who overtook the Capitol, according to a recent NBC News poll,” reports CNN’s Harry Enten. “That’s up from 47% in January 2021.”
Regardless of whether you believed that polls accurately captured Trump’s approval ratings during his presidency, he consistently polled underwater in most surveys, but his net favorability is now -9 points, which is actually an improvement.
“He averaged a net approval rating during his presidency of -12 points,” notes Enten. “A 3-point jump in net popularity may not seem like much, but his current net favorability rating is higher than 86% of his net approval ratings during his presidency. If nothing else, it’s 10 points higher than his net approval rating at the end of his time in office.
