For this analysis, we surveyed 5,360 U.S. adults in January 2021. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of Pew Research Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories.

Majorities also approve of Biden\u2019s Cabinet selections and how he has explained his plans and policies for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donald Trump is leaving the White House with the lowest job approval of his presidency (29%) and increasingly negative ratings for his post-election conduct. The share of voters who rate Trump\u2019s conduct since the election as only fair or poor has risen from 68% in November to 76%, with virtually all of the increase coming in his \u201cpoor\u201d ratings (62% now, 54% then).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump voters, in particular, have grown more critical of their candidate\u2019s post-election conduct. The share of his supporters who describe his conduct as poor has doubled over the past two months, from 10% to 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new survey by Pew Research Center, conducted Jan. 8-12 among 5,360 U.S. adults, including 4,040 who say they voted in the presidential election, finds that a sizable majority of Americans do not want Trump to remain a major political figure after he leaves office. About two-thirds (68%) say Trump should not continue to be a major national political figure for many years to come; just 29% say he should remain a major figure in U.S. politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-200-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/01\/15\/biden-begins-presidency-with-positive-ratings-trump-departs-with-lowest-ever-job-mark\/pp_2021-01-14_biden-trump-views_00-02-png\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-59087\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e5e1d4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e5e1d4;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/01\/PP_2021.01.14_biden-trump-views_00-02.png?resize=400,794 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"397\" width=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/01\/PP_2021.01.14_biden-trump-views_00-02.png?w=200\" alt=\"Chart shows majority of public does not want Trump to remain a major political figure\" class=\"wp-image-59087 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many, the shocking events of Jan. 6 \u2013 when some Trump supporters heeded the president\u2019s call to march to the Capitol to protest Congress\u2019 acceptance of Biden\u2019s victory and then went on a violent rampage throughout the building \u2013 have seriously marred Trump\u2019s final days as president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three-quarters of the public say the president bears at least some responsibility for the violence and destruction committed by some of his supporters, with 52% saying he bears a lot of responsibility for their actions. Just about a quarter (24%) say Trump has no responsibility for what took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/house-impeachment-trump\/2021\/01\/13\/05fe731c-55c5-11eb-a931-5b162d0d033d_story.html\">voted Jan. 13 to impeach Trump for a second time<\/a>, charging the president with \u201cinciting violence against the government of the United States.\u201d A narrow majority of Americans (54%) say it would be better for the country for Trump to be removed from office, with Vice President Mike Pence finishing the last few days of his term, while 45% say Trump should remain in office until his term ends Jan. 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-310-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/01\/15\/biden-begins-presidency-with-positive-ratings-trump-departs-with-lowest-ever-job-mark\/pp_2021-01-14_biden-trump-views_00-03-png\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-59091\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f1eee4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f1eee4;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/01\/PP_2021.01.14_biden-trump-views_00-03.png?resize=480,937 480w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/01\/PP_2021.01.14_biden-trump-views_00-03.png?resize=620,1210 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"605\" width=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/01\/PP_2021.01.14_biden-trump-views_00-03.png?w=310\" alt=\"Chart shows most Americans say Trump bears at least some responsibility for violence at the U.S. Capitol\" class=\"wp-image-59091 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As has been the case throughout Trump\u2019s four years as president, Republicans and Democrats remain deeply divided \u2013 in this case, over Trump\u2019s culpability in the unprecedented assault on the Capitol and whether he should be removed from office in the final days of his presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only about half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (52%) say Trump bears any responsibility for the violence and destruction in the Capitol and 79% do not think he should be removed from office before Jan. 20. Virtually all Democrats and Democratic leaners (95%) say Trump bears at least some responsibility for the riot\u2013 and 83% favor his removal as president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These deep divisions extend to opinions about the election result itself. Biden will be inaugurated Jan. 20 with a large segment of Trump voters viewing Trump as the winner of the election, despite scores of failed court challenges to the election brought by Trump\u2019s lawyers and Congress\u2019 confirmation of Biden\u2019s Electoral College victory in the early morning hours of Jan. 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among voters overall, 65% say Biden definitely or probably \u201creceived the most votes cast by eligible voters in enough states to win the election\u201d; 54% say he definitely won the most votes. But 34% incorrectly say Trump definitely or probably was the rightful election winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey provides new insights into how Republicans and Republican leaners \u2013 a broader group than just Trump voters \u2013 view the president as he prepares to exit the White House. Democrats continue to be uniformly critical of Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republicans have mixed views of Trump\u2019s post-election conduct and his responsibility for the violent events of Jan. 6; fewer than half (46%) say he bears <em>no <\/em>responsibility for the Capitol riot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/01\/15\/biden-begins-presidency-with-positive-ratings-trump-departs-with-lowest-ever-job-mark\/pp_2021-01-14_biden-trump-views_00-04-png\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-59096\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e7e4de\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e7e4de;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/01\/PP_2021.01.14_biden-trump-views_00-04.png?resize=480,506 480w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/01\/PP_2021.01.14_biden-trump-views_00-04.png?resize=782,825 782w, https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/01\/PP_2021.01.14_biden-trump-views_00-04.png?resize=840,886 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"443\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/01\/PP_2021.01.14_biden-trump-views_00-04.png?w=420\" alt=\"Chart shows after Capitol riot, Republicans have reservations about Trump, but most say incorrectly that he won the election\" class=\"wp-image-59096 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, a 64% majority agrees with his contention \u2013 disproved in numerous court decisions and rejected by Congress itself \u2013 that he is the rightful winner of the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the responses to four measures on Trump and his future are combined, GOP internal divisions emerge: 29% hold all four positions \u2013 that is, they endorse Trump\u2019s post-election conduct, hold him blameless for the riot, believe he is the election\u2019s rightful winner and want him to have a major role in politics going forward.
