RedditsuxTrump Wrecked In Devastating Poll As Most Americans Say He’s ‘Worse Than Biden’ — With Whopping 18 Point Swing
I’m stupid, can someone help me understand how we calculate the 18 point swing?
Just after Trump was inaugurated last February, the result was 58 percent saying Trump was doing a better job than Biden
But in the new poll, 51 percent said Trump is doing a worse job than President Biden did — a net swing of 18 points
2025 poll 58% say Trump > Biden 2026 poll 49% say Trump > Biden (aka 100 - 51)
58-49 = 9?
What you’re missing is that this is two opposing viewpoints in a zero-sum game. You’re in one bucket or the other.
So going from 58 to 49 means that Trump looks 9 points worse, but also that Biden looks 9 points better. That’s an 18-point swing.
