The former president's favorability rating has remained low despite effectively clinching the Republican nomination, fresh polling indicates.

Donald Trump continues to have a low favorability score among Americans, new polling shows, despite being the likely Republican nominee after winning the lion’s share of primaries and seeing off his only remaining rival.

An ABC News/Ipsos survey of 536 U.S. adults, conducted between March 8-9, found that 29 percent have a favorable view of the former president compared to 59 percent who view him unfavorably.

It came after Trump secured all but one of the primaries on Super Tuesday—giving him 1,075 out of 1,215 delegates he needs to become the presumptive Republican nominee—which prompted former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley to drop out of the race to leave him unopposed. Primaries being held on Tuesday could push Trump over the line.

Trump’s popularity has remained largely unchanged since last summer. In similar polls conducted last year, which have a margin of error of 4.5 percent either way, he has hovered around a 30 percent favorability rating.

        You can’t read?

        This is obvious sealioning but I’ll indulge you this one time.

        The poll shows 33% of Republicans now say Israel’s military response has gone too far, up from 18% in November. Fifty-two percent of independents say that, up from 39%. Sixty-two percent of Democrats say they feel that way, roughly the same majority as in November.

          So 62% of Democrats say they have gone too far and not forcing a ceasefire would cost Biden votes?

          How does this work

            You never said the word ceasefire until you were forced to move the goalpost. Stick to your original statement.

                You specifically said

                If Biden stops funding Israel’s genocide, he’d win the election in a blowout,

                So I’m guessing you think cutting off funding is “how else”.

                  Echo chamber in action. Democrats are 50/50 on supporting Israel’s genocide. Independents favor Israel even more.

                  I linked evidence that 80% of Democrats are in favor of a ceasefire.

                  You are saying Biden would lose votes by enforcing a ceasefire. I am saying Biden would gain votes by enforcing a ceasefire.

                    Quit talking about ceasefire. That was not your original point. Unless you admit you were wrong about your original point.
