As Trump’s Exit Nears, 50% Call Him “Failed President”

USA Today reports:

President Donald Trump leaves the White House next month with the country more sharply divided than when he moved in and amid caustic assessments of his record in office, a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds. Fifty percent of Americans now predict history will judge him as a “failed” president.

The survey shows the risks of actions he is contemplating on his way out the door. Americans overwhelmingly say issuing a preemptive pardon for himself would be an abuse of presidential power, and an even bigger majority, including most Republicans, say he should attend Biden’s inauguration to demonstrate the peaceful transfer of power.
