Opinion: Pence More Unpopular Than Trump and Much Less Than Planned Parenthood
April 26, 2017
The new NBC/WSJ poll reveals that by a wide margin Planned Parenthood is significantly more popular than Mike Pence who is even more despised than Trump.
In spite of what Donald Trump says in public, or thinks in his egotistical twisted mind, there is not much the majority of Americans like about him, his administration, his policies, or his kids. It is about the only good news about the state of the American people’s sensibilities these days and validating for those who cannot comport a vicious and corrupt swindler living in the White House.
For some politicians, and American citizens, opinion or popularity surveys are important. And yet despite how many polls are conducted in any given time period, all of the attention over the past year has been focused on Trump; likely because he is as unpopular as he is incompetent and corrupt. However, most opinion polls ask respondents to weigh in on more than just one policy or politician with little to no reporting on anything other than the Trump.
In one of those polls, the most recent one conducted by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal (NBC/WSJ), it was revealed that no matter how much Americans detest Donald Trump, and they do despise the con man, they dislike his vice-president Mike Pence even more. As Oliver Willis put it, in the Trump Administration, “misery loves company.” And according to the poll’s results, one can only imagine that the Trump administration is feeling incredibly miserable at the approval rating numbers for the two men at the head of the Executive Branch of government.
As far as American politicians are regarded by the people, Mike Pence ranks near the top of the list as one of “the least popular politicians in the United States.” In that NBC poll, only a miserable 38 percent of the respondents had a favorable opinion of Mike Pence. The number for Trump’s approval in that poll is a pathetic 39 percent. Obviously, no matter the level of lies, deliberately misleading statements, saber-rattling, or so-called achievements the Trump administration boasts about the majority of the people are not fooled whatsoever.
Within that poll was an approval number that almost certainly irritated the religious extremism right out of Mike Pence more than anything he could possibly imagine; the organization he exists to eliminate, Planned Parenthood, is significantly more popular than either Pence or Trump. Planned Parenthood received a 50 percent approval rating compared to Trump’s 39 and Pence’s 38 percent. As an aside, Planned Parenthood was number two on the popularity list behind the most popular politician in America, Barack Hussein Obama.
Whether or not there is a corollary between Pence’s “horrifying record of trying to undermine women’s health care” and his unpopularity is unclear, but there is no question that the women’s healthcare group is, and has been, more popular than either Pence or his religious acolytes are wont to claim. There is no question, however, that Pence has been one of the leading voices against the women’s healthcare advocate and provider; so it is entirely possible that at least one of the reasons Pence is less popular than Trump is his anti-women’s rights stance. A stance, by the way, that is driven solely by his extremist evangelical fundamentalism; not his particularly nasty brand of conservatism.
