From the Newsweek article cited above --
https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/donald-trump-s-favorability-rating-is-positive-for-first-time-ever/ar-AA1vNqY3

Speaking to Newsweek, Mark Shanahan, an American politics expert who teaches at the U.K.'s University of Surrey, said: "Trump's positive favorability rating is likely down to this being the calm before the storm. He is elected but not yet in office, so his rating is based on anticipation, not on the actuality of his performance. ((OK so far -nmmi))

...

"All sides are seeing him act decisively in terms of the energy around his appointments; quite a contrast to the outgoing Biden administration.

I've heard of "bothsidesism". But "allsidesism" is a new one for me
