“The Electoral College has spoken,” McConnell said, before adding he wanted to “congratulate the President-elect Joe Biden” and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. “What a terrible move.

In averages of numerous polls available on RealClearPolitics since his January 2017 inauguration, Trump’s job approval rating has remained relatively consistent, but he has clearly failed to win over the majority of Americans. Even polls such as Rasmussen Reports, which seem to be consistently more favorable to the president, do not show a consistently positive swing in favor of Trump.
