The pardons for January 6th rioters have been quite controversial. According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, nearly 60% of Americans oppose the pardons. Another poll from Newsweek found that only 20% of Americans support the pardons2. However, a Rasmussen Reports survey indicated that 49% of likely voters would approve of pardons on a case-by-case basis. So, opinions are pretty divided on this issue.
According to the latest polls, Donald Trump's favorability ratings are quite mixed. For instance, a YouGov poll conducted from January 22-24, 2025, shows that 47% of respondents have a favorable opinion of Trump, while 50% have an unfavorable opinion. Another poll by Echelon Insights from the same period indicates a slightly more positive view, with 50% favorable and 48% unfavorable1.
Overall, Trump's favorability ratings seem to hover around the mid-40s to low-50s, with a fairly even split between favorable and unfavorable opinions.
