Trump’s tearing the United States apart, damning poll from his heartland finds
Just 16% say they like the way he conducts himself as president.
Fifty percent of respondents said overall that they disapproved of the job Mr. Trump was doing in countering North Korea’s continued threats, while 43 percent approved. Twenty-one percent (21%) think they’re more in agreement with Senate Democrats, and a sizable 19% are undecided. Eighty-five percent of Republicans approve or somewhat approve of his performance, with 65 percent saying they strongly approve.
“Who do you think Donald Trump dislikes more – white supremacists or the news media?”
The nationwide poll was taken from a sample of 10,129 adults over age 18 and conducted by NBC and SurveyMonkey between August 24 and August 29.

A majority of likely American voters say that President Trump is a “bully” who “says what he thinks”, according to a new Fox News poll surveying how voters would describe him. That’s a pretty stunning commentary on where Trump’s presidency stands today – a larger amount of ambivalence than perhaps any poll to date.
Trump’s personality is mentioned quite often both positively and negatively.
In the 2016 presidential election, millions of honest, hard-working, middle-class Americans voted for President Trump, believing that as president he would work with Congress to restore the job security of every able-bodied USA citizen, address the domestic and national security concerns of all Americans and restore the dignity and respect of our great veterans.

Their condemnation came just hours after Trump visited flood-ravaged Texas, and was panned for spending no time consoling people who were rescued but lost their homes. Fox News reported the results were the worst “score to-date” in their polls. At the same time, his disapproval has skyrocketed – rising more than 12 points since Inauguration Day. This is not to say there hasn’t been some erosion in Trump’s base.
One suspects that a high percentage of these Republicans know quite well how divisive Trump is, but they don’t want to think of their choice for president as someone who divides the country. Majorities say they are not too or not at all confident in Trump’s handling of these two issues. Last Friday, Trump complained about the Senate’s filibuster rule, which has been a longtime vexation to him even as McConnell has indicated he has no interest in getting rid of it. In a Fox News poll released Wednesday, 69 percent of Republicans said the news media is a bigger danger to society, compared with just 18 percent who responded that white supremacists are more of a problem. But that procedure, known as “reconciliation”, also holds that any tax cuts that add to the nation’s long-term deficit would have to be set to expire. Roughly half of the public (52%) say Trump is not tough enough in dealing with Russian Federation; 35% say he is about right, while 6% say he is too tough.
The tax reform plan candidate Trump proposed indeed would increase take-home pay for workers in the center of the income scale.
