    Default 56% of American blame Trump for contributing to mass shootings.

    Poll: Trump Disapproval Rating Soars as Americans Feel Less Safe

    In the wake of two mass shootings that left 31 dead, President Donald Trump’s disapproval rating rose to 56% as some Americans blame the president’s rhetoric for the increase in shootings, according to a Fox News poll released Wednesday.

    Trump’s disapproval rating, which increased by 5% from a month ago, is the second highest it’s been since October 2017 when it was at 57%.

    While 65% of Republicans say they believe Trump is drawing the country closer together, 92% of Democrats and 59% of independents say he’s tearing the country apart.

    Following mass shootings at an El Paso, Texas Walmart and at a club in Dayton, Ohio, the poll asked registered voters Aug. 11-13 if they approved of how President Trump responded to the incidents. Only 37% percent said they approved of his handling of the shootings compared to 52% who disapproved.

    The poll also found that 46% of registered voters said the Trump administration has made the country less safe from a mass shooting by an American citizen, whereas 15% said the country was safer.

    When asked what they thought was to blame for mass shootings in the last few years, 56% said the “sentiments expressed by President Trump” was responsible for some or a great deal of the blame. Another 38% said the same of “sentiments expressed by Democratic political leaders.”

    The recent shootings have also increased support for tougher gun laws. According to the poll, 90% of registered voters said they favor requiring background checks for gun sales, 81% favor taking guns from at-risk people and 67% favor a ban on assault weapons.

    Unbelievable that an American so called POTUS would garner that type of statistic.

    Not likely since it was a Fox News poll. So a very, very bad guess.

    It is more than simply objecting to his politics.

    The man is actually destroying the domestic tranquility of the nation.

    He is in violation of the Preamble of the Constitution.

    He must go.

    What violations might those be?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
