According to Business Insider, a new Gallup poll revealed that President-elect Joe Biden is already more popular than President Trump among Americans. Biden's favorability rating is 55%. It jumped up by 6 points after the election. Over the same period, Trump's rating slid down 3 points lower, to 42%. According to Gallup, Trump has never received a rating over 50% at any point, during his presidency. Trump recently acknowledged that Biden will become president in January. However, he still refuses to concede. He told rally goers in Georgia over the weekend that he believes that the election was rigged.
President Donald Trump is the first president in polling history never to have received a positive job approval rating while in office. In exit polls Tuesday, CNN reports Americans gave Trump an approval rating of 47%. Senior CNN commentator David Axelrod notes that as Trump blames the media and voter fraud for his loss to Joe Biden, Trump should look in the mirror, instead. Axelrod argues that Trump had planned to be re-elected on the strength of the economy, which caused him to downplay the seriousness of COVID-19. As the pandemic picked up speed, Trump used it to inflame his base even more, and divide the country even further. By denying science, however, he torpedoed the US economy, not to mention contributing to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Clay Clark is a podcast host and ardent supporter of President Donald Trump. Speaking at a rally held Tuesday in Washington, DC, Clark apparently thought having a 'mass-spreader event' was a good thing. According to HuffPost, Clark told attendees at the event in Freedom Plaza that COVID-19 was a hoax. He then invited them hug each other. Turn to the person next to you and give them a hug, someone you don’t know. Go hug somebody. Go ahead and spread it out, mass spreader. It’s a mass-spreader event! Clay Clark The Twitterverse was singularly unimpressed. Clark also made a point to say he was open to hugs despite being in a committed relationship.
Donald Trump issued a statement through his campaign's Twitter account on Thursday. He was making claims without evidence that "illegal and late votes" will lead to election fraud. Many are curious as to why Twitter has yet to add a label to it, reports Business Insider. Trump has long peddled unfounded claims that suggest the election process is fraudulent. He has continued to do so since Tuesday as votes began being tallied. Prior to Election Day, Twitter said it would crackdown on election-related misinformation.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly complained about voter fraud, and has sworn he'll litigate over it. But according to Business Insider, in the five lawsuits he's brought over the election so far, none contain any such allegations. Four of them are about the vote-counting process. The other one wants to see votes that came late in the mail in Pennsylvania invalidated. Every election, millions of Americans vote by mail. Nonpartisan experts and multiple studies have uncovered absolutely no evidence of widespread voter fraud. In fact, Trump himself, and many of his top staff and family members, have voted by mail--or tried to--in recent years.
