When polling organizations measure public opinion of political figures, they ask questions to determine how many people have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of the person. In general, politicians get elected because prospective voters' favorable ratings exceed the unfavorable ratings. A candidate's rating earns a boost from his nominating convention, and again during the transition between election day and taking office, as America tends to unite behind the winner. Every President experiences a decline in opinion polls as voters are turned off by unpopular decisions. Donald Trump is unusual because he was nationally well known before entering politics, and he has maintained a very high negative rating since his earliest opinion polls.<ref>{{cite news|url= httphttps://www.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/188936/trump-negative-image.aspx|title=Trump's Negative Image|date=January 30, 2016|work=gallup.com|accessdate=June 22, 2017}}</ref> The leading explanation for how Trump became President was that the Democratic candidate [[Hillary Clinton]] was even more unpopular with historically high negative ratings.<ref>{{cite news|url=httphttps://www.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/194138/fear-greater-two-evils-spur-high-turnout.aspx|title=Fear of the "Greater of Two Evils" Could Spur High Turnout|date=August 3, 2016|work=gallup.com|accessdate=June 22, 2017}}</ref>
