60% : The unorthodox ad featured Trump speaking directly to the camera to "sports fans" and urging them to vote in the "most important election in the history of our country.
42% : After Trump hosted SNL in 2015, some of his GOP primary rivals were given airtime not on the show, but in a similar time period on stations with upcoming primaries.
36% : "Rubio nonetheless complained about Harris's SNL appearance being "in violation of the law," an accusation that might hold more water if the stations had not properly filed their notices of the free time and then granted a similar quantity of time to Trump.
33% : Brendan Carr, a Republican commissioner who was appointed by Trump to the Federal Communications Commission's five-person governing body, blasted Harris's cameo and claimed it was a "clear and blatant effort to violate the FCC's Equal Time rule.
15% : The short appearance included Harris cracking jokes about Trump struggling to open the door of a garbage truck and taking some ribbing from Rudolph about her laugh.
