Trump Is the Least Popular President-Elect in Modern American History

[pbmus]

Like all other president-elects in the modern era, Donald Trump has enjoyed a surge in popularity since winning the White House. But if you surge up a mile from the bottom of the deep sea, you’ll still find yourself underwater. And after securing the honor of “least popular major-party nominee in recorded history,” Trump now lays claim to the title of least popular president-elect in modern memory.

Recent polls from YouGov and Morning Consult have put Trump’s approval rating in the mid-40s. At around this point in 2008, Gallup put Obama’s favorable rating at 68 percent; that figure was 59 percent for George W. Bush in mid-December 2000; and 58 percent for Bill Clinton in November 1992.

And when voters are asked to judge Trump’s performance as president-elect, he gets even worse marks. A new Pew poll finds that only 40 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s cabinet choices, while just 41 percent approve of the job he’s done so far in detailing his policies and plans for the future. As you can see from this graphic, both those figures are historically low

And potential conflict internally and externally than any other POTUS elect ...

Here is the same root word applied slightly differently

Kakistocracy

kak·is·toc·ra·cies. Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens. Origin of kakistocracy. Greek kakistos, worst, superlative of kakos, bad

It fits all too well these days.

14. Yeah. I can't remember the last time . . .

I hated an incoming president with every fiber of my being, devoutly hoping a meteor strike would rid us of the terrifying pestilence.

That might bend the curve a little.

17. Why, that has become my new mantra. Meteor, meteor, oh blessed meteor.

Praise be the effing meteor.
