excerpted:

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. (PPP: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2015/PPP_Release_National_51016.pdf)

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.

Lice and root canals I can understand. But Nickelback? That's just hard to explain. Congratulations lice and root canals. You finally have moved out of those two bottom spots.- Trey Sutphin

I suspect that it is because many people, like me, believe that Nickelback is just an Urban Legend.....
