NY Daily News ^ | January 17, 2017

When President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office Friday, he'll be the most unpopular man to do so in decades, two new polls showed.

A majority of Americans - 54% - have an unfavorable opinion of the incoming president, a Tuesday Washington Post/ABC News poll showed. A second survey, conducted by CNN and ORC, reported that 52% of people do not approve of the way the president-elect has been handling the transition.

In each poll, just 40% of respondents said they view Trump and his transition team favorably.

I expect by the end of his term his popularity poll numbers will be zero. After all, when the media hates someone and they control the polls, and when all else fails just plain lies about things, why not?

Are they using the same poll folks from the week prior to the election?

Seems to me a bunch of the poll companies probably need to get to a new occupation, or re-invent themselves.

Honestly, though, I wish President-Elect Trump would save his tweets for people and events that actually matter. The more he tweets, the less effective a tool it becomes, IMO. He should only use that account when something is really important. Rep Lewis is a moron and didn’t even deserve a response from the President-Elect, IMO.

Polls from the same folks that banded together to make T look as bad as possible and H as good as possible, before the election.

Disregard.
