While Comcast continually wins the "Worst Company of the Year" awards, and despite Donald Trump promising to Make America Great Again, a new poll has found that Donald Trump is less popular than the cable giant.



Exstreamist surveyed 765 US residents asking which they had a higher opinion of, Donald Trump or Comcast. The results ended up showing that 58.2% of people found Comcast more favorable, to Trump's 41.8%.



Both Comcast and Donald Trump garner a wide range of emotional responses, and Trump certainly seems to bring out energy on both sides of the argument. There are probably a lot more people neutral towards Comcast than there are to Donald Trump, likely resulting in the survey's results.



As Exstreamist points out, it also probably has a lot to do with Comcast not directly having the potential to get their hands on nuclear weapons, a major plus (although perhaps they hold the keys to the internet connection that might be required to launch weapons?).



The poll also found that among women, the gap spread even wider, with Trump's popularity falling to about 36%, to Comcast's 64%. Among men, the poll results were much closer, with Comcast at 52% to Trump's 48%.







The one group where Trump pulled ahead was among older voters (55+), with the presidential candidate polling about 52% to Comcast's 48%.



Comcast has recently increased data caps from 300GB to 1TB, meaning less customers will be charged for overages, at least for the time being. I'm curious as to whether or not this poll would be different based on the previous caps hitting more customers, and thus resulting in more fees.



Trump's stance on the internet is, well, interesting to say the least. He views it as a terrorist recruiting ground, with statements mentioning that he believes ISIS is being strengthened by technology and that we should tighten things up online.
