In First Month, Views of Trump Are Already Strongly Felt, Deeply Polarized:Less than a month after Donald Trump took office, the public’s initial impressions of the new president are strongly felt, deeply polarized and far more negative than positive..... The intensity of the public’s early views of Trump is striking: Fully 75% either approve or disapprove of Trump strongly, compared with just 17% who feel less strongly. Nearly half (46%) strongly disapprove of his job performance, while 29% strongly approve..... The public has a more critical view of how this executive order, which has been blocked by the courts, was implemented. Just 28% say that, regardless of their view of the policy, they believe the administration did an excellent or good job of communicating the order and putting it into effect. While 17% say the administration did only a fair job of implementing the policy, 53% say it did a poor job in this regard. Even Republicans, who overwhelmingly
approve of Trump’s job performance and the policy behind the executive
order, have mixed views about the way it was carried out. While 54% say
the administration did an excellent or good job of putting the order
into effect, 44% say it did only fair or poor. Very long article with lots of data points, http://www.people-press.org/2017/02/16/in-first-month-views-of-trump-are-already-strongly-felt-deeply-polarized/ |
