Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West may want to re-consider if he’s really up for a 2020 presidential campaign following some lackluster poll results.

According to reports, a new YouGov poll show Ye struggling to gain serious support.

Half of those polled by YouGov this week said they have a “strongly unfavorable” opinion of the noted fresh juice advocate. Only 13 percent said they have a very favorable or even somewhat favorable view of West. Told that West is planning a run to become President of the United States of America in 2020, only six percent said they’d consider voting for him, while 65 percent would prefer he not run.

This week, presidential hopeful Donald Trump weighed-in on Kanye’s candidacy announcement.

“He’s said very nice things about me in the past… extremely positive things – I was actually watching, I saw him [announce his candidacy on the VMAs], and I said, ‘That’s very interesting. I wonder who gave him that idea?’ … He’s actually a different kind of person than people think. He’s a nice guy. I hope to run against him someday.” (Rolling Stone)

According to reports, a 24-year-old recent graduate registered “KanyeforPresident.com” and has already received five-figure offers this week.

Tramall Ferguson registered “KanyeForPresident.com” back in April on a whim … thinking maybe one day Yeezy would make it in the oval office. After Kanye’s announcement at the MTV VMAs … Tramal’s phone is blowing up with huge offers to own the domain … upwards of $80k. Tramal says he’s holding out … waiting for Kanye to call. He wouldn’t say how much he’d charge, but he was clear … Kanye’s not getting it for free. (TMZ)

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest spoke out on Kanye West’s announcement a few days ago.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says of the announcement that he looks “forward to seeing what slogan he chooses to embroider on his campaign hat.” Earnest was traveling aboard Air Force One with the president to Alaska. (Billboard)
