on the theory that the average Chump, if literate, doesn't really like to write.

Nope, no love at all over on Pox News, at least not on the first couple of pages.

I've suspected a lot of the angry "outside agitators" at Republican town halls are Republicans who feel like they got sold down the river. They did. They're not happy about it and want that man gone at least as much as we do.

70%= Poor. The rest OK or good.

Too many statements that are factually and demonstrably false. Lack of government transparency. Not helping to calm any national or international feelings - only seems happy to stir the pot and continue the boil.

I had hopes he could shake things up in DC, but instead he's shaking everyone's confidence in the future. Just imagine this gang who can't shoot straight in charge during a real crisis (Cuban Missile Crisis, for instance)

Exactly as I expected it would be. A disaster!

God says to pray for our leaders and not just the ones we like, I am and I am also praying for our country and for our world,,,

He comes off as someone who doesn't know what he is doing, thinks he can "wing it" by telling made up lies to cover up his ignorance, and uses a "I'm a grumpy old man" attitude to push his bigoted agenda.

Been trying to figure out if he inherited a mess how was it he played golf the first 4 weeks more than any president we ever had

I've never been more frightened and embarrassed of an American president, not even W. As a matter of fact, I'd be thrilled to let W come back and take Trump's place. Education cuts, the dismantling of the EPA, healthcare, and dismal foreign relations...those are just a few. Trump's lack of integrity and thin skin negate his ability to relate to anyone but a loyal sycophant, all the while he is all too willing to go back on promises he's made to the LGBTQ community and the American people in regards to his taxes. Trump and Bannon's "America First" nationalism is anti-Amercan and I think they need to be reminded that "E Pluribus Unum" means "out of many, one". Our diversity is what defines us. Trump's ties to Russia are shaping up to be treasonous and the only thing that may frighten me more than that, is Pence. There should never be a religious extremist of ANY faith in control of a country, especially not the United States of America.

The absolute worst president. How anyone can stand behind this man is beyond me. He's a tyrant and should be impeached!

It's as dysfunctional as I thought it would be. I'm afraid for our country.

Lies upon lies. A sad man trying to become dictator in a country that does not want him.

Billionaire cabinet nominees with at least four Goldman-Sachs affiliates and two big oil moguls. Wake up people: What happened to the anger over wallstreet a few short years ago?

We now have an narcissistic egotistical billionaire in office rallying up to protect that top 1% and ensure they remain in power for a very long time.

Trump promises to take away my job, my healthcare and my future. And I'm scared. The people are scared.

There has literally never been a more dangerously un-American nominee, and now, somehow, in the greatest scam in modern history, president.

It has been one terrifying day after another. Without immediate intervention, it could be the end of the United States.

Amateur hour! Situation room in the hotel dining room? Incompetent Secretaries? Unvetted nominees? Unconstitutional, not-thought-through edicts? Shady deals with the Russians? Conficts of interest (selling you wife's stuff during a press conference?) Firing everyone before you know what's going on? And...of course...blaming everything on somebody else. Total incompetence.

45 will forever be an is on our Nations history. This person is a shining example of what the United States does NOT stand for. Never in my lifetime did I imagine having to keep my children away from coverage of our President. Its shameful, disgusting, and deeply saddening.

Anti-compassion. Haphazzard. Fascist leaning. Complete disaster!

Sad that it doesn't go lower than "poor". The word is far too PC to cover how badly this unfunny, twitter obsessed joke is doing.

President Trump is treating the office of president at best like that of a corporate CEO and at worst like a dictator. Neither one will work for the USA. I would encourage him to read the constitution and the amendments. I would hope that he would be a president for all Americans and not just a faction within the country. Elected office is one of service. It is not one for autocratic totalitarianism.

So Fox News are you actually going to report these poll findings or just ignore them because the poll seems to be siding against your hallowed leader?

Ignore them just like Trump has with his own poll about the media being his enemy, if the poll doesn't go along with the results you want, completely ignore it and make up your own numbers. We already know Fox lies about everything, in 2003 they went to court sued by their own newscasters and they proved FOX lies, but FOX won the case because Reagan changed the law so they can lie and report it as news.

Impeachment and prison for much of cabinet coming soon.

In all of my years I have never imagined that I might live under a totalitarian-style president who undermines even the most basic of institutions both public and private. Fox News and its flippant disregard for reality is largely to blame.

We have an administration which is openly nationalistic and intends to dismantle the work of our forebearers. It will take decades to clean up the mess that is being created right now.

Obama was terrible in many regards, but he wasn't even close to this bad.

New violations each day.

This entire WH admin is so corrupt. Selling cab pos 2 highest bidders, deregulation 4 billionaires that never reinvest, and overreaching anti-humanitarian policy? Un American! Greedy! Reprehensible

Proposed education cuts to every single kind of valuable program our kids get. From special needs to honors classes to hot lunch. How does that make America anything but awful? Intentional rollback of children's rights. Arresting people for trying to live and work in America. Throwing our borders into chaos and inciting ISIS. The gutting of the EPA. I could go on. Don't start me on Russia! This administration is already one of the greatest disasters in our nation's history if not the greatest.

He promised to be POTUS for all Americans, yet is not even trying, ignoring the majority. It is not easy being POTUS for all Americans, its hard work, and seems to be beyond him. Dealing with the complexities of problems, foreign & domestic, seem beyond him. He only seems comfortable campaigning. His anti-science, anti-evidence-based decision making is shocking. Pruitt for EPA was an example of narrow business interests of polluters being put ahead of the People.

He and his cabinet picks are dangerous to our democracy. Our Congress is worthless at stopping a president that clearly has ties to Russia, multiple conflicts of interest and possibly committed treason. I'm very worried for our country and the world because of Trump.

Trump is an example of what America is not and the people who follow him see it as a win lose situation. When we are seen around the world as a threat to an already precarious balance in power and in the environment and a threat to our own people it makes us less than we are as Americans. The list of things we can call him is endless and topping that list is a personality disorder that can't be fixed. If he read the textbook on 'cluster B' it is the one thing he has done extremely well...getting the symptoms right. He spent too much time on a reality show...for much of what Trump and his team have done there is no retake. He will not deliver the paradise he promised nor does he care that he won't because it's all about 'him' and we ALL lose!

He's everything anti- American.An embarrassment .An absolute treasonous traitor trying to lead the country to completely decimation while he funnels every penny he can into his own pockets and the complicit GOP are happy to be part of the ride to see what goodies they can get for themselves. The storm is coming, we, the majority, see it.

#WorstPresidentEver

This entire Republican Administration sickens me. They want to repeal ACA with nothing but a "great plan. The pipeline? Going through totally ignoring everyone. Education? Let's take us back to the 50's and teach Creationism. Stock up on bottled water and learn to hold your breath as Republicans don't believe in pollution control. Chummy up with Russia and get us in another war.

The end date for the EPA is January of 2018- thats cool, the environment doesn't matter anyway right? 😠

Hello? Ties to Russia? Where are his taxes? This "administration" is nothing but a bunch of old white men who have drank themselves into a stupor and just want to throw trash around this great nation of ours.

They are shameful and disgusting.

He needs mental treatment. After being removed from office. His election is proof that we have a mental health crisis in this country.

So far it has been one long infomercial with a few ratings brags. Sad!

He promised he was for the "working" man and filled his cabinet with billionaires who don't have a clue about living pay check to paycheck or about the position they hold! Moving forward with Dakota access pipeline is a disgrace, once again the Native Americans get the shaft! And now they want to put a pipeline through the Appalachian trail! We need to focus on clean energy! That is the way of the future! We are behind in education, our mortality rate is one of the highest! The list goes on! And Trump sits in the White House "tweeting " about stupid stuff that has nothing to do with the problems facing our nation! He is not the only one , I would say most of the men and women in our natoin's capitol are there to line their pockets! Our Government "borrowed" from Social Security is one of the reasons it is running out of money! Greed will be the downfall of our nation, very sad!

It has been a disaster. I am a Republican and my thoughts for the last year have been...This? This all we have to offer the people of the US? I am 51 years old and for the first time in my life, I am embarassed for this country. And the support that this man garnered and still does, is unprecedented. EVERY politician in Washington is to blame for this nightmare. You ignore your constituents. And as a result, they voted in this pathetic excuse for a human being thinking that he will be their savior. And did you learn from it? No. You're still ignoring them. You're not holding Town hall meetings now because everyone's enraged. You created this mess. Stop hiding in your offices, grow a spine and take responsibility. Listen to your voters, even if you don't like what they say.

Well-said. He is an embarrassment, And you are right. He has shown himself not to be for our working class. The Founding Fathers would be mortified.

There will always be s divide in the nation, different human opinions exist and will always exist. Where and when that divide grew and became louder is when this president came to office. His and his cabinets biased and unconstitutional actions have opened once well organized flood gates that have caused these rivers of opinions to over flow. It is quite apparent this president cares nothing of the nations (and the world) people out cry against his actions since taking office. Since this president came into office nothing but discord and chaos have been present in many facets of our government, world relations, and relations with the nations people that pay taxes. This president and his cabinet need to come to reality and listen to the nation they work for.

It's becoming obvious that this man's main intent is to "deconstruct" the American government and assure that he and his billionaire frinds just get richer. Our society is going from bad to worse in terms of taking care of the most important issues of heakth, education, and the environment!

Bannon has come out and said he is a Leninist who wants to destroy everything. Since WHEN do people who consider themselves patriotic Americans remain silent while a COMMUNIST advises the President?

If you're pro-rich, or pro-corporation, without regard to the environment, to the poor, and thinks that our laws should not be fair to all, then he's doing a good job. But that is not what most of us want!

How do you spell "neo-fascist"? Is that right? With a hyphen? Show me who he walks with and I'll tell you the kind of man he is: Bannon, Putin.

He is not "walking with Putin". That is just an MSM and DNC lie. Even the FBI hasn't got any proof.

Please turn off fox news and stop reading brietbart. These are propaganda machines only. He is colluding with Putin and has been for a while. Don't you tire of being misinformed?

We do have video proof of Trump saying how much he admires Putin, agrees with his policies, and parroting Putin's taking points. I think that's what he means when he says "walking with Putin".

This administration has so far done everything in its power to render this country devoid of conscience, integrity and respectability in the world's playing field. It strives to break our alliances, empower our enemies and basically destroy the American ideals, values, dreams and promises. We have become the weakest link and the most vulnerable chess piece on the global board. If allowed to continue, the GOP fronted by Trump will be the end of freedom and democracy as we have come to know it. Shame on us for letting it happen with our eyes wide shut.

He is an indecent man, irrespective of politics. A dangerous and uninformed narcissist.

The arrogance, destructiveness, cruelty, deliberate selection of cabinet chiefs antithetical to the departments they will lead (or more likely destroy), duplicity and lying, refusal to live up to any expectations of ethical integrity, and obvious attempts to hide and stonewall investigations of collusion or inappropriate ties with Russia are frightening, disgusting, and unworthy of the government of a civilized nation. We are in big trouble.

Uggggggghhhhhh.

Why bother. . . you can't fix stupid!

Thank you for taking a poll! I truly believe his senseless rants and constantly making up his own facts undermines what little good he has done. He did not drain the swamp. He is systematically removing checks and balances, this worries me greatly! Mostly, he has shone an unpresidental demeanor towards more than half of Americans! Demoralizing, unsupportive and flat out rude to people he calls their President! I am not "so called" angry! I am not an enemy of America! I am not being paid or coerced to have these opinions!

Very old questions. We've gotten hold of an old, defunct poll that only went to four states. Interesting that the anti-Trump numbers were so overwhelmingly high when Texas was one of them.

How did we find this poll? Starting out at the Fox website? Or from a Tweet or something?
