Ubi bene ibi patria
" Donald Trump — who likes to falsely claim a landslide win and has widely ridiculed suggestions that outside interference might have helped tipped the election — appears to be highly sensitive to the notion that his popular support might not be as broad, deep, and adulatory as he thinks it should be.
Two new polls out this morning suggest that he’s right to fear this: They find that Trump starts out in the weakest position of any president in decades. But it may be even worse than this. The polls also show that many of the things he’s about to do are also deeply unpopular.
First, the toplines. The new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that only 40 percent of Americans view Trump favorably, versus 54 percent who view him unfavorably. Those numbers are identical (40-54) on the question of whether Americans approve of how he’s handled the transition so far. Only 44 percent say Trump is qualified to serve as president."
