After "personally approving" the raid on President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, Americans are further souring on Attorney General Merrick Garland.
According to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports, Garland's approval is sitting in the 30s.
"More voters still have a negative perception of Attorney General Merrick Garland than view him favorably, and don't think he's doing a better job than his predecessors," Rasmussen found. "A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports finds that 36% of Likely U.S. voters have a favorable impression of Garland, including 22% who have a Very Favorable view of him. That's up from 30% who viewed Garland favorably in October. However, 42% now view Garland unfavorably β up from 39% in October β including 32% who have a Very Unfavorable impression of the attorney general. Another 21% are not sure."
Earlier this year, Garland, under direction from the Biden White House, classified parents attending school board meetings as domestic terrorists. He doubled down on the classification during a hearing in the Senate.
