Poll: How does Trump stack up to other presidents?

Our own polling has shown low support for Trump, with a majority (53%) saying that he is not qualified to be President. Not surprisingly, we found that more Americans think Obama was a better President than Trump by a 49-34% margin. George W. Bush was also rated a better President than Trump by an even bigger margin (45-24%).

Beyond his most recent predecessors, we also asked how Mr. Trump would compare to nine potential opponents in 2020. These included five Republicans who might challenge Trump for the Republican nomination in 2020 and four Democrats who might face Trump in the 2020 general election. Among this group, Joe Biden compares most favorably with Trump (43-31%). A plurality also rates Bernie Sanders ahead of Trump (41-34%), but Trump is rated higher than the rest, usually by a small margin. Donald Trump is considered to be a better President than Hillary Clinton (42-40%), Mitt Romney (32-31%), Warren (35-31%), Kasich (30-27%), Marco Rubio (26-24%), and Mike Pence (24-20%). The candidate that scores the worst when compared to Trump is Ted Cruz (18-30%).
