When given the choice between tiny parasitic insects that feast on human blood and President Donald Trump, the majority of voters would choose the insects. A new poll from Public Policy Polling out Tuesday finds that Trump is so historically disliked that 54 percent of respondents say they have a higher opinion of head lice than they do the presumptive Republican nominee for president. Only 28 percent would pick Trump over head lice.

As if losing to lice wasn't already bad enough, Trump also loses to traffic jams, used-car salesmen, hipsters, the DMV, jury duty, Nickelback, and root canals. In fact, the only terrible things that Trump is viewed more favorably than are cockroaches and hemorrhoids. Trump beats cockroaches 46 percent to 42 percent, and he beats hemorrhoids 45 percent to 39 percent. Congrats?
