Jimmy Kimmel is more popular than Donald Trump, a new poll has found, following a public showdown between the two men that resulted in the talk show host being briefly taken off-air.
When asked about Kimmel, 44 percent said they had a favorable opinion of the comedian, while 41 percent said they did not.
The results gave Kimmel a 16-point lead in favorability, according to the YouGov poll.
“I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back,” Trump fumed on Truth Social following the announcement.

In the monologue, Kimmel was choked up and visibly emotional as he explained his intentions in last week’s episode.
The comedian went on to tell his audience he had sent love to Kirk’s family and asked for compassion. »
