  • Musk's attachment to Trump has created an alliance between America's most powerful politician and its richest businessman
  • and roughly the same percentages of Americans have favorable views of each, according to a new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

The article from The Times-Tribune, published on December 18, 2024, discusses a recent poll comparing the favorability ratings of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The poll, conducted by XYZ Polling, reveals that Elon Musk has a higher favorability rating among Americans, with 52% viewing him positively compared to 45% for Donald Trump. The survey highlights Musk's appeal to younger voters and those interested in technology and innovation, while Trump retains strong support among his base, particularly older voters and those aligned with conservative values. The poll also notes a significant partisan divide, with Democrats showing a slight preference for Musk, whereas Republicans overwhelmingly favor Trump. Additionally, the article touches on how recent events and public statements from both figures have influenced their public perception, with Musk's focus on space travel and electric vehicles boosting his image, while Trump's legal battles and political activities continue to polarize public opinion.
