ABC News: Trump Unfavorable Rating Unprecedented in Modern Era

KARL: "President-elect Trump will go into office with the majority of Americans viewing him unfavorably. George. That is something we simply have never seen in the modern era. Just look at the numbers going all the way back to Jimmy Carter. Every newly elected president experiences some kind of honeymoon. Donald Trump, just 40 percent viewed favorably. But there is a contradiction, and it's a fundamental one, George. Most Americans have high expectations for how he'll handle the big issues. 60 percent believe he'll do an excellent or a good job on the economy; 56 percent believe he'll do an excellent or a good job handling terrorism. So, viewed unfavorably but still, George, high expectations for his presidency on those issues."
