- Public Policy Polling research released that root canals, lice, and Nickelback is in higher favor than Donald Trump.
- The poll surveyed 1,222 registered voters between May 6th through the 9th.
- The majority of the public also enjoys jury duty, traffic jams, the DMV, hipster and used car salesmen more than Trump.
- On the positive side, Trump is liked more than cockroaches and hemorrhoids.
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is so unpopular, voters prefer head lice, root canals and the frequently-mocked rock band Nickelback to the billionaire businessman.
According to the Public Policy Polling research released Tuesday, voters have a “higher opinion” of root canals by a 49 to 38 percent margin, lice by 54 to 28 percent margin and Nickelback by 39 to 34 percent margin.
The poll, which surveyed 1,222 registered voters from May 6 to 9, also found that Americans prefer jury duty, traffic jams, the Department of Motor Vehicles, hipsters and used car salesmen to Trump.
In addition, only 34 percent of respondents had a favorable opinion of the New York real estate mogul, while 61 percent said they have an unfavorable view of him. And 49 percent of millennial voters, aged 18 to 29, said they “would consider leaving the country” if Trump wins the presidency in November.
But the polling wasn’t all bad news for Trump.
Voters dislike cockroaches more than the presumptive GOP nominee by a 42 to 46 percent margin and hemorrhoids by a 39 to 45 percent margin.
Asked who they would vote for between Trump and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in the general election, 47 percent said they would vote for the former secretary of state, compared to 41 percent who said they would pull the lever for Trump. Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders won out over Trump by an even larger margin: 50 percent to 39 percent.
Interestingly, the poll also revealed that 7 percent of voters believe Trump’s bizarre accusation last week that former GOP rival Ted Cruz’s father was involved in President John F. Kennedy’s assassination while 55 percent said it was untrue and 38 percent said they were unsure.
“For the most part, we’ve found that Donald Trump’s supporters lap up every conspiracy theory he pushes out there,” Public Policy Polling president Dean Debnam said of the results. “But the Ted Cruz’s dad was involved in killing JFK one appears to be a bridge too far even for them.”
Other “conspiracies” Trump supporters believe include the assertion that President Barack Obama is Muslim (65 percent), that the commander in chief wasn’t born in the U.S. (59 percent), that vaccinations cause autism (27 percent) and that late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was murdered (24 percent).

I didn’t vote for Trump in the Primary, but I will in the General election. I will not vote for a liberal who pushes everything I detest and know to be wrong. If the Republicans don’t stop this nonsense and get behind Trump at this point, we are just handing the election to Hillary.
He talks about everything we Americans have been feeling for a long time. He is self supported and not a bought pigeon or parrot that speaks when and what someone else tells them. He is a successful business man and can and will help America regain its economical goals and world wide status.
I’ve met Donald Trump. He is no idiot and certainly not a “Dunce” as your photo suggests. A criminal elite group of politicians in Washington has stolen our government from us and the American people are finally waking up to that fact. Hence the reason Trump and Sanders (the outsiders) are kicking butt this election cycle.
By all means, do have your say, but a lot of us disagree with your smarmy assessment.
1200 polled in three days is not indicative of anything. You must have polled uneducated non working government leeches
If you think Clinton is the best for our country then you should join her and all her people that lie like her and join her isis friends.
I’ll be unsubscribing from your little website, when are you going to attack Hillary? This supposed “News” site is just like all the other biased newsites, NBC,ABC,CBS. All dyed in the wool Democrats!
We have to get rid of the “GOOD OLE’ BOYS CLUB”. The GOP may as well be Democrats. They gave Obama everything he wanted and screwed us!! Let the Congress get some BALLS and follow our Constitution!! There is way too many RINOS in D.C.!! They need to be fired.
I am unsubscribing you jackass. So sick and tired of listening to the holier than thou tripe other outlets were spewing – now you.
Time to change the channel so-to-speak.
I think that title needs to go to the “Clinton Clan”!!! They have avoided every scandal they have ever been named to! Industrial strength RAID won’t “kill off” this pestilence.
You can not be a dunce and earn billions of dollars and raise successful children.
The hide behind bs.
Both parties are in total fear of him. He owes no one the time of day. There in is their problem. Cruz was my first choice Trump was second. Trump will be able to see the books and see the waste first hand. Plus I would not vote for a useless democrat at any level of governemnt.
Take me off ur list. You can support the real cockroach Hillary and I will not read ur bs again. Larry
All who disagree with trump are empty headed sculls of mush ! !
Beck has become unbalanced . .
You don’t need to look very far down the line of politicians in Washington to realize how unified both parties in maintaining the status quo. The Duke and Duchess Club of incompetency is our Congress. Parties and Gala’s, Golf and expensive excursions. Big Spenders with other peoples Money. So then, if Trump is compared to a cockroach, then our Washington Elite’s and the Media minions that serve them must be????? I’ll take Trump anytime.
Polls are so unbelievable and skewed nowdays. This was probably conducted at a luberal univarsity. Paid for by your and mt tax dollars in an effort to sway public opinion or cover voter fraud. If not it is a Clinton campaign tactic.
you must be Hillary
Trump will beat Stupid Hilary . And this website is Stupid .
Trump is not PC; his words have been twisted by the press including you people saying he hates Mexicans — he doesn’t — he hates felons that repeatedly enter the country illegally from Mexico and rape and/or kill our citizens. socializing everything won’t do anything in the long run except transform the US into Russia where everyone is paid the same — fair, right?
Please unsubscribe me from your left wing, communist, anti-American rag. You are obviously another bought and paid for pro Clinton government sucking leech.
Remove my email address from your site as soon as possible. Lying, power hungry, “progressive” Hillary is not the answer to our Country’s needs. Where did you do your polling? Cal
1. Don’t take your polls at a democratic staging area.
2. You put out negative reviews to try to get American people to think negatively about Trump.
3. Get real
Mr. Trump is a patriot. He is the only politician talking about what others are afraid to talk about, such as illegal immigration. He has his own money so he’s not interested in lining his pockets with the shekels most politicians take.
He is not a conservative or a Republican he has changed his affiliation five times in the last ten years. He does not have the temperament to be President, he is clueless about policies, he takes five different positions on everything and then later he walks it back, he has no core beliefs he is an opportunist he exploits the uninformed and uneducated. He got where he is by steam rolling and bulldozing little people that are in his way. He helped Hillary in the past and he had such a glowing description of her being the secretary of State. So, do you believe someone like that? I Don’t.
Trump is the best thing since popcorn. Get a life you assholes.
DT would make America the laughing stock of the world. He has absolutely no knowledge of world politics, how to be a diplomat, how to extend the “olive branch”, be a successful husband, I could go on and on. His butler for 30 years wants to murder our president, you can disagree with him all you want to but to make a threat such as this I thought was a criminal act. Unbelievable, he quotes the National Inquirier for Pete’s Sake. I never knew there were so many uneducated voters in our country, boy was I wrong. Vote for Trump you are voting for WWIII
Please loose my email!!! Who the hell are u gonna vote for ??? Some liberal gun stealing democratic bitch like Hillary ? Let’s kick off world war 3 with her or anyone other than Trump cause that’s exactly what will happen if Anyone ELSE GETS ELECTED
GET REAL
Get a brain you fools. It’s Trump — Americas last hope!!!!
