President-elect Donald Trump is becoming more popular, but the future commander in chief has a long way to go if he wants his favorability ratings to come close to his predecessors’.

According to a Gallup poll released on Thursday, 55 percent of Americans surveyed said they had an unfavorable opinion of Trump in a stretch immediately after the election, from Nov. 9 to Nov. 13.

Nonetheless, Trump’s favorability rose 8 points in the days after the election as compared with the stretch right before it (Nov. 1 to Nov. 6), from 34 percent to 42 percent. Gallup said that this recent growth spurt could indicate that there will be an even further boost in favorability when Trump is inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017. According to the report, Donald Trump’s favorability rating peaked in 2006 at 50 percent.
