President Donald Trump‘s grip on the Republican Party seems to be loosening, new polling shows, as the ex-president has been out of office for nearly 100 days. 

A national NBC News poll found that for the first time ever, 50 per cent of Republicans say they’re supporters of the GOP over Trump, versus the 44 per cent who say they support Trump over the GOP.  

The poll marks the first time since July 2019 that party supporters outnumber Trump supporters and the only time the 50 per cent threshold has been met when Republicans were asked about their allegiances. 

A year ago, 54 per cent of Republicans viewed themselves as supporters of Trump over the GOP, while 35 per cent chose the Republican Party over the sitting president.  

Among all adults, Trump’s numbers are slipping too. 

In the new poll, which was conducted April 17 through 20, 32 per cent of respondents viewed Trump favorably, versus 55 per cent who viewed him unfavorably.  

Breaking those numbers down, 21 per cent said they viewed Trump very favorably, while 47 per cent said they viewed him very unfavorably.  

The percentage of people who view the ex-president favorably have dropped since before the November 3 election. 

In the run-up to the election, 43 per cent of U.S. adults viewed Trump favorably versus 52 per cent who viewed him unfavorably.   

And then in January, 40 per cent viewed the outgoing president favorably, versus 53 per cent who viewed him unfavorably. 

President Joe Biden, on the other hand, is viewed favorably by 50 per cent of American adults, according to the latest poll, versus 36 per cent who view him negatively.
