After the election, many of us were, and still are, scared of the possibility of a Donald Trump presidency. President-elect Donald Trump has been pissing off just about every group you can think of.
Because of that, Trump has the highest unfavorable rating of any candidate in a major party in more than 50 years, according to Gallup statistics. Trump also has a higher unfavorable rating higher than all of the president-elects of the last 24 years.
Even more unfavorable than former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whom he claimed no one liked, and is a “crook.”
Maybe it is voter’s remorse, as Trump is already going back on some of his campaign promises.
For instance, Trump promised over and over again on the campaign trail that he was going to get rid of Obamacare immediately. Now, he’s saying that he will keep parts of the law. He said he won’t be bringing the pre-existing condition restrictions back.
One of his biggest promises during the campaign was building a wall at the U.S. – Mexican border.
It was the first thing he mentioned when he announced his campaign, and his supporters are still saying “build that wall.” He promised that he was going to make Mexico pay for it. However, he’s rolling back on that as well.
In a Gallup poll from Sunday, 42 percent of Americas do not favor Trump. This is up from the 34 percent that he had right before the election. Somehow, people are getting more confident in Trump after the election.
We’ll see what happens when he actually tries to do the job.
Among Republicans, 82 percent of them have a favorable view of Donald Trump. This is up from 71 percent. Only 10 percent of Democrats view him favorably.
Trump has a smaller approval rating within his own party than some other presidents. For instance, the statistics show that President Obama had a 95 percent approval rating among Democrats when he was elected. When Dubya was elected, he had a 88 percent favorability rating among Republicans.
The statistics don’t lie, and they put Trump once again in a league of his own.
Here is a news clip from when he won the election:
