Pop superstar Taylor Swift got a cruel end to her summer Thursday as new polling showed that fewer Americans view her favorably than they do Donald Trump.
The antihero former president, 78, earned a 47% favorability score in the national survey by the New York Times and Siena College, conducted Sept. 11-16 after Swift’s endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
Swift, 34, was down bad by comparison, only managing a 42% favorability rating.
The Republican candidate has trashed his fellow billionaire for backing Harris, 59, writing Sunday on social media, “I hate Taylor Swift!”
Harris herself also topped Swift — with 48% viewing the vice president positively.
Both of the major-party nominees had higher unfavorable ratings than Swift, however — with Trump viewed negatively by 50% of respondents and Harris by 48% — reflecting a sharply polarized electorate where few are neutral on the contenders.
Swift, by comparison, was only viewed unfavorably by 34% of respondents while 22% had no opinion.
Democrats overwhelmingly had a favorable view of Swift — 70% — versus just 41% of independents and 23% of Republicans.
