25% Of Voters View Biden And Trump Unfavourable, Highest Level In Decades

A new survey from the Pew Research Center has found that roughly 25% of Americans hold an unfavourable view of both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump - the highest share of "double haters" at this stage in any of the last 10 elections.

  • Axios notes: “The closely watched bloc has nearly doubled in size since 2020, making this fall's Trump vs. Biden rematch the most dreaded election in modern political history… Whichever candidate can mobilize more "double haters" to back them in November could have a decisive advantage in the Electoral College, given the razor-thin margins.”
  • How this group votes in November is likely to be the most consequential variable of the election. A Bloomberg survey in in May found that Trump and Biden are taking, "roughly equal measures of these disillusioned voters in battleground states."
  • Bloomberg notes: "...the biggest threat to Biden and Trump is that voters turned off by them will simply stay home — or find refuge in an independent candidate like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is polling at 24% among those voters in the Bloomberg/Morning Consult survey. Other third-party candidates are taking a combined 12%."
