WHOOPS...OBAMA HAD 84% APPROVAL RATING BEFORE HIS SWEARING IN Majorities of Americans view Trump unfavorably — and also disapprove of the way in which Trump has built his incoming administration. By STEVEN SHEPARD 01/17/17 09:16 AM EST Updated 01/17/17 01:36 PM EST Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Donald Trump will be sworn in as president in three days, but polls on the eve of his inauguration show Trump is earning historically low marks for his transition. Trump’s poor poll numbers — ranging from personal favorability to ratings of his performance as president-elect to negative views of some of his major policy initiatives — stand in sharp contrast to the Republican-dominated Washington that would enable the real estate magnate to enact large parts of his agenda after he takes the oath of office on Friday. The new surveys from CNN/ORC, ABC News/Washington Post and Monmouth University, all released Tuesday morning, are also a major break from recent presidential transitions. Past presidents-elect have been catapulted to the White House by a surge of popular opinion —even those elected under contentious and controversial circumstances. But any post-victory bounce for Trump has been fleeting. In both the CNN/ORC and ABC News/Washington Post polls, majorities of Americans view Trump unfavorably — and also disapprove of the way in which Trump has built his incoming administration. The CNN/ORC poll shows 53 percent of Americans view Trump unfavorably, while only 44 percent have a favorable opinion of the incoming president. In the ABC News/Washington Post poll, Trump’s favorable rating is just 40 percent, with 54 percent having an unfavorable opinion. That, according to The Washington Post, makes Trump the least-popular incoming president of the past 40 years — by a large margin. Eight years ago, ABC News/Washington Post polling showed Barack Obama with a 79 percent favorable rating. Even George W. Bush — who lost the popular vote and was designated the next president only after a protracted recount in Florida — had a 62 percent favorable rating on the eve of his inauguration. Bush’s 36 percent unfavorable rating was the lowest of the modern era, until Trump’s 54 percent score in the new poll. SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
