The American public’s view of Donald Trump’s presidency and the direction he’s leading the country is remains more negative than positive just ahead of his first formal address to Congress since returning to office, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

Summary

A CNN poll shows Trump’s presidency viewed more negatively than positively ahead of his address to Congress, with 52% disapproving and 48% approving of his performance.

More Americans believe his policies are taking the country in the wrong direction (45%) than the right one (39%). While Trump maintains strong Republican support (90% approval), independents largely disapprove (59%).

Most respondents (52%) feel Trump hasn’t focused on the country’s most important problems.

His approval remains low among younger adults, Hispanic adults, Black adults, and women, while he maintains strong support from whites without college degrees.

    He’s going to spend the entire “speech” telling everyone how great he is and how great everything is going, essentially telling them to ignore what they’ve seen. As usual.

      If we’re not building gas chambers on Day 1 of the next Democrat president, this cycle will never stop. I think its time that progressives realize that a little under half of our country has willingly degenerated themselves to sub-human status.

      48%.

      90% Republicans.

      Strong support from whites without college degrees.

      I think we’ll be fine without them

        This would only put off the issue. I’m not suggesting this cohort of humanity is redeemable, but when a gardener has grown a crop of fools intent on the destruction of the world, who do you blame? The crop or the gardener?

        Putin. Putin is the biggest threat to global order. Trump is a manifestation of Putin’s will. Targeting the fools only delays the issue, because they will simply raise another crop.

        Putin, Trump, and all billionaires. There is no even starting recovery with them still in existence.
