Five Charts With Some Bad News For Trump Policies

A new poll, released Friday by the Democratic-leaning research firm Public Policy Polling, found broad-based opposition to many central items of President Donald Trump’s agenda.
Perhaps most immediately notable for the Trump administration, more respondents were opposed to than supported the President's immigration executive order, which halted immigration and travel to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries, and suspended the United States’ refugee program. Forty-nine percent of respondents were opposed to the order, while 45 percent supported it. Six percent of respondents were not sure.
Just as notable, it seems a large percentage of respondents thought it was poorly executed. Dozens of travelers were left in limbo at airports around the country in the hours after the ban was signed, and huge crowds rallied against the order. Only 27 percent of respondents said the order was well executed, as opposed to 66 percent who thought it was poorly executed. Seven percent were not sure.
