Biden Came Out of Conventions Slightly More Popular

FiveThirtyEight: “Several pollsters have asked Americans whether they have a favorable or unfavorable view of both Trump and Biden since the Republican National Convention ended on Aug. 27. On average, these polls gave Biden a 48% favorable rating and a 46% unfavorable rating — or a net favorability rating of +3 percentage points. That’s a slight, 4-point increase from his net favorability rating in the same polls before the conventions.”

“Trump, on the other hand, went into the convention period with lower favorables than Biden and does not appear to have emerged from it any better liked. Before the conventions, his average net favorability (according to these same pollsters) was -13 percentage points… In the most recent round of surveys from these pollsters, Trump has an average favorable rating of 41% and an average unfavorable rating of 55%. In other words, his net favorability rating is now -14 points.”
