Presidential Election 2016 ‘New Gallup Poll’ : 60 Percent of Americans Hold Unfavorable View of Donald Trump

A new Gallup poll finds billionaire Donald Trump the most un-liked candidate in 25 years. Or in the parlance of poll takers, he has the highest unfavorable ratings since Gallup began taking the poll.

According to new polling from Gallup, an astonishing 60 percent of Americans view GOP frontrunner Donald Trump unfavorably. This number is higher than any unfavorable number either Hillary or Bill Clinton have ever held, even while deeply embroiled in scandal. Bolding is mine.

At this point (two-week average through Jan. 27), 33% of Americans view Trump favorably and 60% unfavorably. It’s that 60% unfavorable figure that I can focus on here.

Hillary Clinton currently has a 52% unfavorable rating among all Americans, while Jeb Bush is at 45%, Chris Christie 38%, Ted Cruz 37%, Marco Rubio 33%, Bernie Sanders 31% and Ben Carson 30%. Trump’s 60% is clearly well above all of these. Putting his favorable and unfavorable ratings together yields a net favorable of -27 for Trump, far above the -10 for Clinton and for Bush, the next lowest among the major candidates.

By comparison, Bill Clinton’s highest unfavorable rating in Gallup’s history of rating him has been 59% in March 2001 after he left office amid criticism of his pardons and issues relating to White House furniture. The highest unfavorable for his wife, Hillary, came in that same March 2001 poll — at 53% — a figure she has matched several times in the current campaign.
