Monday nights Hardball, MSNBCs Joy Reid filling in for Chris Matthews revealed that a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll is showing that President-elect Donald Trumps favorability numbers are lower than any presidents ever in the history of the poll.
Forty percent of Americans have a positive view of President-elect Donald Trump, Reid said. To put that into context, Trumps favorability a month before inauguration is actually the worst in the history of the NBC poll.
In 1992, she said, Pres. Bill Clinton had a 60 percent favorability rating coming into the White House. Pres. George W. Bush had a 48 percent favorability rating, even after the contentious recount battle. In 2008, Pres. Barack Obama was headed into office with a 67 percent approval rating.
This cuts into Trumps counterfactual claims that he has won a historic victory and his even more easily disproven boast that he won the popular vote.
