According to the poll, released by Marquette University Law School, 57 percent of Americans view Obama favorably, while 40 percent view him unfavorably, a +17 net favorability. Trump, however, is viewed favorably by just 42 percent, with 57 percent viewing him unfavorably, a -15 net favorability. The poll contrasts Trump’s recent comments about Obama, whom he criticized during a meeting with military leaders. “One thing with Obama, I have zero respect for him as a president, but he would bop down those stairs,” Trump said.
