2016 was a record election year

There is an above-average chance that 2016 will set the standard...until 2020.
Americans' fundamental reactions to their 2016 presidential candidates are at least as negative today as when Clinton and Trump emerged as their respective parties' presumptive nominees in June. The subsequent ups and downs of the campaign have resulted in no meaningful change to Trump's image, and have had a modest negative effect on Clinton's, with her highly unfavorable rating inching up to match Trump's.The 2016 election is the only one in Gallup's polling history to feature two broadly unpopular candidates. Further, when factoring in the high percentages viewing each very negatively, Trump and Clinton are the two most negatively reviewed U.S. presidential candidates of the modern era, and probably ever.

Invited Eisenhower to run on their ticket.
even Nixon was seen favorably
fascinating numbers. Depressing, too.
Nixon was a drawing-room charmer
compared to the present two Deplorables.

All-time record for FUBAR and no mistake!
