Before he was a presidential candidate, Donald Trump was a reality TV star — and not a very well-liked one.
Trump’s Positive Q score — a measurement used in the entertainment industry to assess a celebrity’s likability — was a mere 7 percent this time a year ago, when the Q Scores company described him as a “business executive who hosts ‘The Celebrity Apprentice.’” The average celebrity earns a 16 percent Positive Q Score.
Trump is a lot more popular as a politician — at least among Republicans. He’s already won the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries, and hopes to claim Nevada tonight.
