Trump’s favorability rating is lowest of any president-elect in modern history: http://hill.cm/26nxBbI

Trump’s favorability rating has hit a new high as he prepares to take office, something that has happened for every president-elect since Gallup first started tracking the metric in 1945.

But Trump’s net favorability rating is the lowest of any newly elected first-term president...

A Bloomberg Politics survey released Wednesday found that 50 percent of those polled have a positive view of Trump, compared to 43 percent who view him negatively. That’s up from a 33-63 split in August, and marks the highest favorable rating Trump has registered in any major survey.

1. Yep. All the low-information voters are wetting themselves

at the thought of a cabinet full of Generals and a 'President' who saves jobs 'by the thousands'. We are truly in the hands of fools and idiots.

6. Heard one on the radio.

This misguided fool was certain Trump was appointing outsiders and draining the swamp.

2. When you control the media

You control the message.

When you control the message... You control the masses.

9. you got it...

and that's why we are well and truly fucked...

[KittyWampus]

14. You just hit the nail square on the head. Many of these voters

won't even connect the coming catastrophes to Trump and his brain, Bannon.

FOX, Breitbart etc will just blame Democrats.

[MythosMaster]

16. As Kurt used to state...

so it goes.

[treestar]

3. Not surprising as he is a popular vote loser

[heaven05]

4. Guess what

doesn't matter. Unless the 'electors' vote against this incoming potusfuhrer, he's still potus. EVERYTHING else is superfluous.

[bigtree]

8. that's not the way this works

...politics isn't static, it's amorphous and impressionable.

[heaven05]

18. IF YOU SAY SO

........................this political system and 'democracy' is in immediate and extreme peril. Our racist culture and corruption of our political system by outsiders and insiders has proved this without doubt, it has turned into a black and white scenario with very defined features. ....and the RW voters, very impressionable, you're correct on that point. This garbage about the electoral college possibly revolting against the RW is whistling past the graveyard fear because ANY thinking person, woman, PoC, immigrant knows what immediate danger we personally are ALL in at the hands of the white mob of brownshirts trumpfuhrer has unleashed on this country's people.

Nothing fluid in this election it came down to race and protecting the perceived danger to "white privilege" that independent women, PoC and immigrants pose to the perceived privilege. Some white supremacist gave a speech at some top texas university, screaming AmeriKKKa is for the white male. Part of bannon's crowd.....pretty black and white to me. Period.

5. Yeap, the M$M is normalizing this fuck

[lake loon]

7. That's for sure

... The local "news" radio station and the regional TV local news are both fellating Herr Shitler on a daily basis.

10. 50% favorability is high for Trump and NOT good news

It is higher than President Obama's was during portions of his Presidency. 50% favorability for someone who lies and distorts as much as he does and is willing to exploit people's differences for his own gain is worrisome.

[moonscape]

15. It's stunning ... appalling. How could it not be dropping like a rock? n/t

[WhiteTara]

11. THis is the same anticipation as children have for Christmas

but they are invariably unhappy when they discover Santa Claus didn't deliver the toys they wanted. I wonder how long it will take for disillusion to set in for those yahoos.

[TwilightZone]

12. It has to be "everyone likes a winner" syndrome.

That's the only explanation. People are saying they approve of him, simply because he won.

Otherwise, 50% is...insane. 33% to 50% in three months. What the hell were/are people smoking?

[workinclasszero]

13. Just wait till the populist mask comes off

Once god emperor Dump takes office and his decisions start hurting Americans.

His first 100 days will be a nightmare for many people.

He has pledged to wipe out all of President Obama's EO's on day one.

17. Must be due to the Scumbag Factor.

A new statistical measurement category created with Trump in mind.
