WASHINGTON — Nearly two-thirds of American voters find President Donald Trump's use of Twitter is reckless and distracting, according to a new nationwide McClatchy-Marist poll.

The poll found that 65 percent of registered voters nationwide disapproved of Trump's Twitter use, while 25 percent found it effective and informative.

And despite Trump's frequent criticisms of news media, which he terms the enemy, the poll found that most voters trust their favorite news sources over Trump, 67 percent to 29 percent.

The findings suggest that Trump has a credibility problem, said Lee Miringoff of the McClatchy-Marist Poll.

"Typically presidents either enjoy a honeymoon or they reach out beyond their base," Miringoff said. "This has been an administration that despite not winning the popular vote has put the pedal to the floor and has pushed as quickly and as hard as they can with limited public support behind it. Their actions and style suggest a huge mandate which wasn't there in the vote."

2. The findings suggest that Trump has a credibility problem...

Who'da thunk?

It's the 29% that I find really astonishing. These must be people who are willing to believe the earth is flat and the moon landing was faked. I guess it is true that there's a sucker born every minute.

They don't care about mandates, btw, because their goal is to not have to worry about those pesky voters in order to continue to govern.

3. I have mixed feelings about this. Although it IS annoying and reckless ...

... I'm hopeful that it can hasten his downfall.
