Nearly 70 percent of voters say that President Trump is a bad role model for children, according to a survey released Wednesday.

Respondents to the Quinnipiac University poll said by 67 percent to 29 percent that Trump is not a good role model for kids, a position held consistently across age groups ranging from 18 to 65 and up.

Over half of voters, 55 percent, say the president does not have a sense of decency, while 42 percent said he does. Fifty-nine percent of respondents said Trump does not share their values, and 53 percent said he doesn't care about the average American.

Only 30 percent are proud to have Trump as commander in chief; 50 percent are embarrassed.

1. Really worried that 29% think Dump is a good role model for their CHILDREN

Yes, little Bobby, lie and cheat and assault women all you want, and maybe someday YOU can be president!

2. "Or at the very least, people will actually respect you!"

It's amazing how many people believe that, judging from what I've heard from children over the years.

7. Or just aren't yet willing to admit what a dirtbag they've discovered he is. n/t

8. I know a few of those people.

They love Brietbart, Hannity, and Infowars, and bought all the Fox News anti-Obama bullshit.

3. is that all?!

that means more than 30% are running around somehow with their heads entirely buried up their asses.
dark days.

4. republicans are raising hordes of Little Dirty Donnys*

5. "...55 percent, say the president does not have a sense of decency, while 42 percent said he does"

Hmm. Funny how that 42% represent the solid block who consistently remain among the loyal. Obviously, these people find him "decent", otherwise it would mean that they themselves must not be decent to condone such indecency. And doesn't that same 42% give or take also represent approximately the number of people who classify themselves as rethugs?

6. I am a substitute teacher and kids use Twitler as an insult to one another

You’re acting like Twitler, you’re a jerk like Twitler and don’t be like twiler. The first time I heard it I thought it was a one off and now I hear it as a put down among one another. These are elementary age children.

9. begs the question...what do 29% think is the good role model part of trump?

I'm guessing
a) being born rich and not losing all of the money you inherited
b) being a loudmouth a-hole
c) screwing a lot of women even if it meant infidelity

What else could it possibly be?

[FailureToCommunicate]

10. Maybe this as well...

d) He's not black

[Fresh_Start]

12. lets be direct..he's white and pretends to be christian

while having the least christian instincts of anyone I've ever heard of

[C Moon]

11. 30% think he's okay? Wow!

[Hassler]

13. The other 30% are child molesters

[Mc Mike]

14. 30 % want their kids acting like d Rump?

Whatta buncha freaks.

[BlueStater]

15. 42% think he has a sense of decency?!?

God, I hate this country.

[LiberalFighter]

16. Only 70%?

Why is that? Are the 30% on meth?

[Cold War Spook]

17. Time to nitpick.

Why does the first sentence say "nearly 70 percent" and the second sentence say "67 percent? Since they knew it was 67 percent, use it in the first sentence.

[Gothmog]

18. Why anyone would think that trump is a good role model is strange

[Grammy23]

19. After over a year of having tRump as president,

my question is what would he have to do to make the ones who think he has a sense of decency change their minds about him? After the terrible year he has had and tons of information leaking out about affairs with porn stars and other unsavory bits, how can they possibly think he has a decent bone in his body? I suppose maybe he really would have to shoot someone on 5th Avenue to even raise an eyebrow. And if he denied he did it, they’d HAVE to believe him, right?

20. I find that surprisingly low.
