The latest national NBC News poll asked respondents for the opinions about several prominent public figures and political entities, none of which were especially popular. Only 38% of American adults, for example, have a positive view of President Joe Biden, and the Democratic Party he leads fared about as well, with a 36% favorability rating.
The news for the right was slightly worse. Only 33% have a positive view of the Republican Party, which was roughly in line with Donald Trump’s 34% favorability rating.
But trailing all of them was a political movement of sorts. NBC News noted yesterday:
President Donald Trump is still unpopular and so is the political movement created in his image, according to a new national NBC News poll. The Make America Great Again, or ‘MAGA,’ movement, which takes its name from Trump’s first campaign slogan, was the least popular individual or group tested in the new survey. Just 24% of Americans have positive views of the movement, while 45% voice negative views.
In contrast, the same poll asked respondents for their views about the Black Lives Matter movement, which fared far better: 38% had positive views, while 40% had negative views.
In other words, “MAGA” isn’t just unpopular with the American mainstream, it’s noticeably less popular than BLM, both major political parties, the current president, and his immediate predecessor.
The popularity of “MAGA” among Republicans isn’t exactly overwhelming: 52% of self-described GOP voters view the so-called movement positively, which is hardly a powerful endorsement.
Among independents, the news was vastly worse for the Trump-inspired faction: “MAGA” has a 12% favorability rating among independent voters.
