President-elect Donald Trump is set to officially take office Friday when he is sworn-in during an inauguration ceremony. Trump's path to the White House and the public's response has been atypical. Polling shows the Republican is historically unpopular.Trump is some 44 points less favorable than President Barack Obama was when he took office in 2009. That could be because Trump has been plagued with an unsual number of scandals he continues to brush aside, despite numerous large protests aimed at disrupting the inauguration.
