A Gallup survey found that only a few political figures, including Marco Rubio, Hakeem Jeffries, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have favorable ratings exceeding unfavorable ones. However, many Americans remain unfamiliar with them.
President Trump is the most well-known, with a 48% favorable and 50% unfavorable rating, while other figures like Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi are viewed more negatively. Independents largely maintain neutral or negative opinions of most politicians, except Kennedy, who is rated slightly positively.
Partisan divides persist, with Republicans and Democrats favoring their own party leaders. Americans’ dissatisfaction with government and political leadership contributes to these mixed public perceptions.
