On the October 6th episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host celebrated the results of a new poll showing he has a higher approval rating than President Donald Trump. The survey, published by The Economist and YouGov, polled 1,656 adult US citizens.
“I am more popular than the president of the United States,” Kimmel said. “You remember the guy who keeps saying I have no ratings? Well, that makes two of us. They polled more than 1,000 people, and I lead Trump by 16 points. I’m at plus three, he’s at minus 13.”
Kimmel then joked that Trump has a “lower approval rating than Diddy and diarrhea” before pivoting to the unreleased Epstein files. “A vast majority say they want to see the Epstein files,” he said. “Trump’s treating these Epstein files like a grumpy old neighbor on Halloween. He turns off all the lights and just hopes the trick-or-treaters will assume there’s nobody home.”
