Donald Trump continues to have a low favorability score
among Americans, new polling shows, despite being the
likely Republican nominee after winning the lion's share of
primaries and seeing off his only remaining rival.
An ABC News/Ipsos survey of 536 U.S. adults, conducted between March 8-9,
found that 29 percent have a favorable view of the former president compared to
59 percent who view him unfavorably.
It came after Trump secured all but one of the primaries on Super Tuesday—
giving him 1,075 out of 1,215 delegates he needs to become the presumptive
Republican nominee—which prompted former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley
to drop out of the race to leave him unopposed. Primaries being held on
Tuesday could push Trump over the line.
Trump's popularity has remained largely unchanged since last summer.
In similar polls conducted last year, which have a margin of error of 4.5
percent either way, he has hovered around a 30 percent favorability rating.
That rating dipped to 25 percent—with 61 percent viewing him unfavorably—
at the start of April last year, immediately after he became the first president in
U.S. history to be indicted with criminal charges, which he denies, in New York.
