That kind of context makes clear that Trump's numbers are even more brutal than they might seem. Here's more:Only one other president in the past 40 years has had an unfavorable rating higher than 20 percent upon being sworn in. The new Post-ABC poll also tested approval ratings for Trump's transition effort — a slightly different question than personal favorability ratings. Just 11 percent of Democrats approve of Trump's transition. Even among Republicans, approval for Trump's transition is substantially lower — 77 percent, vs. 87 percent or higher for each of his four immediate predecessors.
