A recent CNN poll conducted by SSRS found that former President Barack Obama is viewed positively by 57% of Americans, surpassing the ratings of his successors, President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. Only 34% of the public offers a favorable opinion of President Trump, while former President Biden’s favorability rating trails at 30%.

Presidential Popularity

Obama’s standing among political independents is more than twice as high as either Biden’s or Trump’s. He also has the near-universal backing of his own party. In contrast, Biden — who took office with a 59% favorability rating and left it at 33% — now sees a favorability rating that’s lower than it was at any point during his presidency.

The poll highlights a generational shift in Americans’ historical memory, with an increasing share of the public coming of age politically in the Trumpian era of politics, with little or no memory of the presidents before Obama. More than 4 in 10 adults younger than 30 say they don’t have an opinion of Bush or Clinton, respectively.
