Hamilton Shmamilton. A new poll shows Donald Trump’s favorability rating is rising like one of his towers, spiking nine points since the election earlier this month, according to a Politico/Morning Consult survey.
The poll shows 46 percent have a “very favorable or somewhat favorable” opinion of Trump, compared to 12% who are not such big fans and 34% who really don’t like the president-elect.
Just before the election, those numbers were flipped, with 61% having a very unfavorable opinion of Trump and only 37% finding him favorable.
The poll was held on November 16-18, according to Politico.
Obama’s favorbaiulity rating is also up a bit according to the poll, from 50% to 54% so make what you will of that.
And (almost) everybody agrees Steve Bannon was a poor choice for chief White House strategist, with only two in 10 respondents saying it was a “strong” pick.
