Okay - Buc - here you go with the anti Trump stuff - Let's read the article further - not just look at the pics!

The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted Jan. 7-14 among 2,009 adults, including 1,525 registered voters, finds that 35% of voters say that Hillary Clinton would make either a good or great president, with 11% saying she would be great. More voters (44%) say Clinton would be either poor or terrible in the White House; 28% say she would be terrible. About one-in-five (18%) think Clinton would make an average president.

Neither would make a good President - but unfortunately - the candidate I want doesn't have the charisma Trump has - so I'll take my chances with Trum p - a businessman over King Hillary - who left NY out in the cold - the nation can't afford her.

Pictures or no pictures - hard to win a general election when your unfavorables are so high -

Or conversely, for this to be true, those with highest favorables will win election.

So if we assume your theory is correct, and considering the above poll, then John Kaisch will be president.

Hmm.... Fail.

Pew Poll: Majority of Americans polled believe Trump would be a bad president
Of course he would be an awful president, but he is an entertaining candidate.

And?

What are the comparable percentages for Trump?

From the OP's link:

"Nearly a third (31%) say Donald Trump would be either a good or great president; 11% say he would be great. Roughly half (52%) think Trump would make a poor or terrible president, with 38% saying he would be terrible. Just 12% think Trump would be an average president."

Gallup has some results that explain the negatives in more detail - key takeaways here:

"More than four in 10 cannot name anything positive about a potential Trump presidency.
...
Americans are much more likely to mention potentially negative aspects of a Trump presidency than to mention positive aspects -- only 8% say "nothing" when asked about the downsides of such a presidency, with another 9% not having an opinion."

The majority of a couple of thousand people and only about 1/2 voters. I am sure such news would have Trump shaking in his boots!

He is well aware of this poll...he lives for poll data. This stump speech is usually filled with poll data. But I get it. Only polls showing Trump in a positive light are legit.

I think the country has this figured out. I hope he sticks around until the end.
