The [previous poll](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=817713) I had was how many people viewed Trump in his 10 days. Nearly 90% of 200 voters said very negatively. So I’ve created a bonus poll to see how negatively people view Trump (please wait a minute when I do get the poll up). There are 9 levels, from neutral (Level 0) to beyond outraged (Level 8), please pick a level in the poll. ---

8 – Beyond Outraged. ---

I went full 8, but if you were asking about his performance so far, he’d be 7.5. ---

I went back and forth between 5 & 6. Millions of Americans, including myself, have been asking for something other than the “same old/same old” for ages. As a result I’m not livid that that is what we got. Where I hit the level of 8 more is that the more or less outsider to win wasn’t named Bernie and that we’ll never know how he would have done against Trump in a general election. ---

Beyond outraged, but I’m mainly disheartened by his being elected. How could people be so stupid? I have to blame the people who bought what he was selling. ---

I might have been willing to go for 7 [before it came to this](http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/01/29/trump-s-border-patrol-defies-judge-u-s-senator-at-dulles-airport-at-his-first-constitutional-crisis-unfolds.html), but given the way circumstances are now unfolding, 8 isn’t high enough. How can anyone support this madman, with all his executive orders? Yes, I am well aware that Obama too abused the EO option. However, Obama’s “excuse” was that it was the only way he could get things done, as he faced a lot of Congressional opposition. With Republicans in power, Trump has no such excuse. I held out the faintest of faint hopes before that he would turn out to be something besides a reckless dictator, but obviously I was wrong. ---

I voted #8, but I would have gone w/#10. ---

Voted 8. Honestly, if Trump were to clean up his cabinet in particular get rid of Bannon I think I could tolerate him. Maybe I would be at a 2 or 3. Bannon is pure evil though. Trump is an egomaniac. In that way he can be controlled. If we all tell Trump how much we love him he will be placated. He’ll enrich himself and some cronies and as much as that sucks, it isn’t really that much different from politicians gone by in the US and elsewhere. Bannon though. That’s the guy who will cause the real, lasting harm to the underlying fabric of the US. ---

Evidently -5. This poll is so bias that there’s nothing about how positively some of us view Trump especially when compared to Hillary. ---

Yip, beyond outraged. I get depressed and quite scared at times. I actually think ISIS may get the endtimes they want. Because Trump essentially just declared war on Islam. ---

I voted 7 because while I truly feel 8, I think tomorrow I’ll somehow be even angrier and more negative. Gotta leave some room to expand for future acts of insanity. ---

Yes there’s [another poll](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=817713) I made earlier, the only reason why I made this bonus poll was due to the lopsided results of that poll (200+ for “Very Negatively”), and as a result, I’d love to know how negatively people viewed him, in a deeper list. Maybe I’ll put a poll regarding on how positively people view Trump later, just so that my polls have no accused bias. ---

I used to think he was an egomaniac. Now I think he’s an evil egomaniac. And I’m wondering whether the people who voted for him because they wanted change realized that change for change’s sake isn’t always a change for the better. ---

1. To be an 8 he would literally have to be Hitler. At the end of the day, Trump is just a symptom of something deeply wrong with our democracy and the people in it. In a more informed, sane, civilized society someone like Trump never would have gotten enough votes to become president.
