OK, where are the heartless bastards who named Jared "least popular Trump family member?"



Much has been made of President Donald Trump’s historic low approval ratings. But the president is not even the least popular member of his own family. Instead, that unwanted honor belongs to Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

The husband of Ivanka Trump is viewed favorably by just 22 percent of American voters, with 36 percent having an unfavorable opinion, according to a Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday. Surprisingly, despite the waves of media coverage he has received since taking up a senior adviser position in the White House, 41 percent of respondents said they had never heard of the former real-estate developer.

The numbers contrast sharply with those for other members of the Trump family featured in the poll. His wife has a positive rating, with 44 percent viewing her favorably and 38 percent unfavorably. And the figures are similar for the First Lady, Melania Trump.

Even Donald Trump Jr., who has been pilloried over a meeting with a Russian government attorney during the presidential campaign, scored better than his brother-in-law. Trump’s oldest son is still seen favorably by 37 percent of the electorate, compared with 47 percent who see him in an unfavorable light.
