When asked how they think the story will measure Trump’s mandate, just over 50 percent of respondents said he will be seen as a “bankrupt” president. About 30% say he will be judged as a “good” or “great” president, and 16% say he will be seen as a “fair” president. Just over 4% of respondents are undecided.
The results are sharply divided along party lines, with 87% of Democrats saying he will be tried as a “bankrupt” president and 67% of Republicans saying he will be seen as “good” or “great”.

“I’m going to tell you that, in 50 years, Trump will be much better regarded than he is today,” added David Cheff, 73, a Trump voter from Jacksonville, Florida.
The survey results are in stark contrast to the same survey conducted in the last days of former President Obama’s second term. At the time, 50% said they would be judged as “good” or “great” and 23% said they would be seen as a “failed” president.
The poll comes out as Trump continues to criticize the results of last month’s election, although the Electoral College earlier this month claimed Biden’s victory. The president and his allies launched a legal campaign to try to overturn the election, claiming that widespread fraud cost him a second term, although virtually all lawsuits were closed for lack of evidence or legitimacy.
Approximately 70% of Americans in the new poll said Trump should grant Biden the race, which he has so far refused to do, while 26% said no. Fifty-seven percent of Republicans said he shouldn’t budge.
The USA Today / Suffolk University poll interviewed 1,000 registered voters from December 16 to 20 and has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
