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.

The country had thing called “An Election” very recently that shows something fundamentally different than 40%.

Well even if it’s true (which I doubt) it matters not. He’s going to do what needs to be done.

forget about the media's record...

Can we assume they polled the same people who were polled before the election?

Washington Post/ABC News poll

Sounds legit. Didn't they have Hillary up by double digits at one point?

The only "poll" that mattered was conducted on November 8.

“Washington Post/ABC News poll showed. A second survey, conducted by CNN and ORC,.....”.

Now WHO might think these are liberals who were “surveyed”? I don’t believe a word of it because like CNN typically does, “Fake News”, the other lib garbage spreaders jumped on.

The media did their Leftist appointed job, operating as the virtual-state media for Obama and now the “righteous” “resistance” to “Trump”.

No, not to Trump. They would have been acting no differently, in however possible, towards any Conservative elected president.

However in hard, real numbers, Trump Twitter followers have grown to 45 million

When those numbers are extrapolated to include the 1.5 persons that get the Tweet second hand the number grows to 112.5 million

Following Trump on Twitter does not mean a person supports Trump.

But the points about the polls polling a misleading subset of people is correct.
