Poll: Overwhelming Majority of Americans Believe Trump's Behavior Is 'Not What They Would Expect From a President'
A new poll finds that though Americans have little faith in Trump’s character and efficacy, a majority are still in support of his political agenda.
The George Washington University Battleground Poll found 71 percent of Americans agree Trump's “behavior is not what I expect from a president,” and over two-thirds (68 percent) agree his “words and actions could get us accidentally involved in an international conflict.”
Sixty-three percent feel the country is on the wrong track, 56 percent have an “unfavorable view” of the president—with 41 percent favorable—and 56 percent feel he has been an ineffective president, with 39 percent feeling the opposite.
“The Battleground Poll data show that more Americans object to President Trump’s character than his agenda,” said GW professor Michael Cornfield. “If there is anything approaching a consensus in today’s sharply divided America, it’s that Trump speaks and behaves inappropriately given the office he holds.”
Supporting Cornfield's statement is the fact that 50 percent of those polled approve of the president's “handling of the economy,” and 52 percent believe Trump is keeping his campaign promises.
But has he kept a single promise since taking office? According to Politifact, a great majority are either stalled, "in the works," or simply unkept.
