Results from a compilation of a dozen polls by RealClearPolitics revealed on Wednesday that the approval rating of former US President Donald Trump has skyrocketed to its highest level since 2022. 

According to results, 42.1% of potential voters hold a favorable view of Trump, compared to only 35.9% measured in December 2022. 

This marks Trump's highest rating since April 22, 2022. At the time, only 45.8% of potential voters viewed him favorably.

The aggregate data further indicates that 54% of voters currently maintain an "unfavorable" view of Trump.

In light of the current presidential race, Trump is holding a slight edge over his primary competitor, President Joe Biden. Data shows that only 39.8% of Americans hold a favorable view of Biden, while 55.5% express an unfavorable opinion of him.

Election Heat Rises

This year's elections likely mark the most heated the country has ever witnessed, due to considerations from certain states, namely Texas, to split away from the federation.

While Republicans have pointed fingers at Biden for his handling of the migrant crisis, Biden has attempted to deflect these criticisms by attributing the lack of progress to Congress's failure to support his proposed reforms.

Trump, on the other hand, maintains his staunch anti-immigration stance, which has long been a cornerstone of his political persona, and he has consistently pledged to tighten measures against border crossings from Mexico in his pursuit of a White House comeback.

Other issues have arisen due to Biden's pro-Israeli stance. In light of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, his policy has led to voters in Michigan voting "uncommitted."

Earlier in the day, Trump and Biden won the primaries in the State of Michigan.

According to Edison Research, with 10% of the estimated Democratic vote tallied, Biden secured 79% support and 16% "non-committed" votes.

Similarly, with 8% of the estimated Republican vote counted, Trump garnered 64% support compared to Nikki Haley's 32%.
