Donald Trump is the most unpopular president-elect in recent history, according to a new Gallup poll. Just 44 percent of Americans approve of his incoming administration, compared with 51 percent who disapprove, the survey found.
Trump is far less popular than President Barack Obama was when he was elected in 2008 on a message of hope and change. Then, 83 percent of Americans approved of the transition. And Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, also got more love than Trump. Bush enjoyed support from a 61 percent of Americans as he entered the White House.
Americans' concerns with Trump are partly driven by his cabinet picks. Roughly 44 percent of those polled called the potential cabinet members below average or poor. In contrast, only 10 percent of Americans said the same about Obama's picks ahead of Inauguration Day 2009.
"Looking at both positive and negative ratings, Americans view Trump's Cabinet as worse than the Cabinets chosen by Obama, Bush and Clinton," Gallup concluded. "The wide spread between positive and negative views of Trump's Cabinet appointments serves as another example of the highly polarized environment in which Trump will be taking office on Jan. 20."
Trump's cabinet picks include attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions, secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson, a former Exxon Mobil CEO, and CIA director nominee Mike Pompeo, who currently serves as a Kansas GOP congressman. Gallup spoke with 1,032 Americans on land lines and cellphones from Jan. 4 to 8. The margin of error is 4 percentage points.

Fake News
hiLIARy is a lead-pipe cinch to win the election.
90%+ percent confidence!
Fake Poll = Fake News.
The Ministry of Propaganda is working overtime trying to undermine the Trump administration before they can even get in office.
He was popular enough to win, so who cares? In about 134 hours, he will become the most popular President in America! lol
My thoughts as well. You’d think they would use different pollsters by now instead of over sampling the same groups.
It’s all propaganda, all the time. The Atlanta paper has turned its website into a lovefest for John Lewis—with articles about how the people of Atlanta HATE the evil Trump. If this madness continues, I think we’re talking civil war.
He’s one heck of a lot more popular than the MSM.
Screw them if they can’t take a joke!!
Clinton poised to take North Carolina,Florida,Ohio,Texas,Missouri,Arizona,Wisconsin,Michigan and Pennsylvania according to new NBC poll.
Who gives a shit? He won. The snowflakes can ESAD for all I care.
Fake News by whining losers.
AMERICANS VOTED FOR Mr. TRUMP
and NOT Pizzagate-protecting Clinton.
That makes him quite popular, and the
International Business Times the next Macys.
We are supposed to believe the same polling people that were so far off in their elections poll results ?
(((YAWN))) Well, you can’t be popular and a good leader at the same time. Especially in this day and age. It’s those “Hard Choices” that Clintoonie or her ghost writer once wrote about.
These people are starting to resemble Baghdad Bob, denying the US army was taking over even as the tanks were rolling up behind him.
They’re unhinged.
Just like the polls who said HELLARY has 52% of the vote, just like the polls that said HELLARY would win PA., WI., MI., IOWA, those pollls LMAO!!!!!
And, probably, 99.9% pf these people couldn't name any of these potential cabinet members.
No doubt the same pollsters who we dead-wrong on the presidential election.
