It’s been nearly two weeks since the election and Donald Trump has already become more popular.
According to a Politico/Morning Consult poll of registered voters, Trump’s favorability has climbed 9 points since the same poll was taken right before the election, from 37 percent to 46 percent, while his unfavorability rating dropped by double digits, from 61 percent to 46 percent—a 15-point difference.
Trump is also getting high marks for his transition effort. Nineteen percent of those polled believe it is more organized than past efforts and another 34 percent believe the transition is about the same, according to the poll that Morning Consult conducted Nov. 16-18.
"Trump’s favorability among voters has reached new highs since he became president-elect,” said Morning Consult cofounder and Chief Research Officer Kyle Dropp. "This honeymoon phase in common for new presidents. For example, Obama saw about a 20 point swing in his favor following the 2008 election."

Holding the meetings at Trump Tower tends to raise visibility, all right.

I...don’t understand. We screamed. We cursed. We rioted. We assaulted people. We even killed someone. Why didn’t it work? Are you people that racist?

Are you that out of your mind that you cannot see what voters have told you?

But, but, but, According to ABC, HRC won 1.5 million more popular vote!
This totally pisses me off because they are so reluctant to state that there were millions of absentee/military votes that were not counted

I’m sick of polls. They almost all were wrong on Nov. 8th, why should I care today.

Yep. The fake news sites have me confused.

Holding the meetings at Trump Tower tends to raise visibility, all right. You really think the venue out-shadows the man? Or did I miss a tongue-in-cheek signal?

I think part of this is “silent” supporters realizing there are others out there, making it more ok to voice support for the Donald.
