Trump viewed as ‘one of the country’s worst presidents’, Fox News poll indicates Matt Mathers 1 hour ago independent.co.uk Some 42 per cent of voters say they will remember Donald Trump as "one of the country's worst presidents". That's according to a recent poll by Fox News, Mr Trump's once favoured network. Pollsters spoke to a random national sample of 1,007 registered voters by phone, in interviews conducted between 6-9 December. They asked Americans a number of questions on how they viewed the president, who is set to leave the White House in January next year. Some 8 per cent of respondents said Mr Trump will be remembered as "below average". Nearly a fifth (16 per cent) said he will go down in the history books as "above average". Meanwhile, 22 per cent said the defeated incumbent is "one of the greatest" presidents the US has ever seen. Those figures highlight how polarising a character Mr Trump has become in the past four years. Despite losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, who is now president-elect, Mr Trump still secured more than 74 million votes. His campaign team claims that is more votes than any other sitting president in US history. Fox said the poll, carried out in conjunction with Beacon Research, had a margin of sampling error of +3 percentage points. And while Mr Trump won almost 11 million more votes in 2020 than he did in 2017, he has garnered more negative feelings than any other president, CNN reported. The only other commander-in-chief who was so poorly favoured at the end of his presidency in a five category poll was George W. Bush, the outlet added. Some 36 per cent of voters surveyed by Gallup in a 2009 poll said Mr Bush would be remembered as a "poor president". independent.co.uk

Feds have discussed making a legal request for Giuliani's electronic communications, say two sources The federal investigation of the president's personal lawyer is ongoing, said two sources familiar with the matter, with one saying it is "very active." Dec. 22, 2020, 1:55 AM GMT By Julia Ainsley, Tom Winter and Lisa Ferri nbcnews.com WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors have discussed making a legal request for Rudy Giuliani's electronic communications, two sources familiar with the probe tell NBC News, a sign that the investigation into President Donald Trump's personal attorney remains active and may soon be ramping up. Prosecutors for the Southern District of New York have been in communication with Justice Department officials in Washington about gaining access to Giuliani's emails, the two sources said. The SDNY needs Washington's approval before its prosecutors can ask a judge to sign a search warrant for materials that may be protected by attorney-client privilege, according to department policy. It is not known whether that approval has been granted by Washington to the SDNY. The scope of the current investigation is unclear, but In October 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported that SDNY prosecutors were reviewing Giuliani's bank records as part of an investigation into his dealings in Ukraine. Two of his former associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, were arrested that month on charges of campaign finance fraud and have since been charged with additional crimes related to wire fraud conspiracy. Parnas and Fruman have pleaded not guilty. ... MORE nbcnews.com
