Trump will enter his Presidency with what is likely the lowest favorability in history

From Pollingreport.com - he is currently at 37% favorable, 51% unfavorable. This is LOWER than he was right before the election from this pollster. http://pollingreport.com/trump_fav.htm

Contrast this to an Obama favorable poll from roughly the equivalent time, January 9-11, (the second poll - NBC - which has a long enough series), his very positive at 43% and his somewhat favorable was 23% --- the sum of the negative categories is just 14%. A far cry from Trump! http://pollingreport.com/obama_fav.htm

Even with all the Bush/Gore controversy, Bush had a similar 42%, 24% for the positive categories and the sum of his negatives were 18%. (This is the 4th poll there - I took the February 10 - 12 as the most comparable to the Obama and Trump numbers. http://pollingreport.com/BushFav.htm

In the Obama and Bush comparisons, I took the first survey I found that went far enough back. The point being that one of these three estimates is VERY VERY different. (Pollingreport, while it has Clinton data, seems to not go earlier than about 1997)
