ABC News Poll: Both Trump and Biden Favorability at 31 Percent

Is this the best that the two-party system can do? Maybe it's time breakaway from the duopoly. 

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are in a flat-footed tie on favorability rating, according to a brand-new poll taken after the former president’s indictment.

According to a new poll from ABC News and Ipsos, which was conducted after the indictment against the former president was announced, Trump’s favorability rating stands at 31 percent. That’s actually up 6 points from the last time the survey was conducted in early April. Trump’s unfavorable rating comes in at 56 percent, which is down 5 points from where it was in April.

​The news is arguably worse for President Biden — as he stands dead even with his predecessor, despite the fact that Trump has been slapped with two indictments in the last 10 weeks. The ABC/Ipsos poll likewise pegged Biden’s favorability at just 31 percent, with 52 percent finding him unfavorable. The favorable number represents an all-time low for Biden in the survey.
