Popularity On The Rise

Apparently, there was more--and still is--more angst out there than the polls and the red votes showed. Not the kind many expected.

We said before the election many would vote their consciences once safely inside those voting booths. PC is one of the patented ways used to shut people who disagree with them up. What we will never know is how many who said publicly they were blue voters but voted red once inside those booths.

What a difference a week makes. The day before the election, Economist/YouGov polls showed 39% Favorable and 60% unfavorable towards Donald Trump (as it was oh-so-obvious that Hillary was about to break that glass ceiling). 9 days later, The Hill reports, Donald Trump's popularity has surged.
Are Americans no longer 'shy' of admitting their support for Trump?

Chart: RealClearPolitics (adjusted)
According to a poll released Monday by Politico and Morning Consult., which confirms the latest post-election poll from Reuters/Ipsos...

Forty-six percent of those polled hold a very or somewhat favorable view of Trump, while 34 percent hold a very unfavorable view of him. Twelve percent hold a somewhat unfavorable view of the president-elect.
