American Voters Oppose Trump Immigration Ban, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds

Source: Quinnipiac

American voters oppose 51 - 46 percent President Donald Trump's order suspending for 90 days all travel to the U.S. from seven nations, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.

Voters oppose 60 - 37 percent President Trump's order suspending immigration of all refugees from any nation to the U.S. for 120 days, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.

Voters also oppose 70 - 26 percent Trump's order suspending indefinitely all immigration of Syrian refugees to the U.S.

Looking at Trump's personal qualities, American voters say:

54 - 42 percent that he is not honest;
50 - 47 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;
52 - 45 percent that he does not care about average Americans;
60 - 35 percent that he is not level-headed;
70 - 26 percent that he is a strong person;
65 - 31 percent that he is intelligent;
58 - 38 percent that he does not share their values.

The poll also has bad news for Trump re his approval rating.

Trump has a negative approval rating, 42% approval to 51% disapproval. Last month on 1/26 this poll showed a 36-44% negative approval rating, so while his approval number has improved, his disapproval increased even more, moving his net approval from -8 to -9.

There's a huge gender gap in his approval, with men approving of him 50-43, women disapproving 58-35.

With a tiny bit of fraud, a massive amount of money, and voter suppression thrown into the mix.

and his numbers have dropped into the toilet. Time for the Democratic Party to begin making commercials now. HA!!

The Democrats had better be looking into all the laws he has already broken to get the impeachment started.

I answered a very very long Quinnipiac poll just a few days ago. Not sure if they process data that fast, or whether I'll show up in a later batch of results, but either way I did my bit to express extreme disapproval on every possible measure of Trump's performance.
