Additional Trend Information
Sample and Methodology detail
[FONT="]President Donald Trump is not "fit to serve as president," American voters say 56 - 42 percent, and voters disapprove 57 - 36 percent of the job he is doing as president, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today. [/FONT]
[FONT="]There are deep party, gender and racial divisions on whether President Trump is fit to serve, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds:[/FONT]
- Trump is not fit, Democrats say 94 - 5 percent and independent voters say 57 - 40 percent. Republicans say 84 - 14 percent that he is fit.
- Men are divided 49 - 49 percent, as women say 63 - 35 percent he is not fit.
- White voters are divided as 50 percent say he is fit and 48 percent say he is not fit. Trump is not fit, black voters say 94 - 4 percent and Hispanic voters say 60 - 40 percent.
[FONT="]The anti-Twitter sentiment remains high as voters say 69 - 26 percent that Trump should stop tweeting. No party, gender, education, age or racial group wants to follow the Tweeter-in- Chief. Voters say 51 - 27 percent they are embarrassed to have Trump as president. [/FONT]
[FONT="]"There is no upside. With an approval rating rating frozen in the mid-thirties, his character and judgement questioned, President Donald Trump must confront the harsh fact that the majority of American voters feel he is simply unfit to serve in the highest office in the land," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. [/FONT]
[FONT="]"A divider, responsible for the deepening chasm of racial discord. That is the inescapable characterization of President Trump from voters who see race relations deteriorating on his watch. [/FONT]
[FONT="]"Weary and wary of the Twitter-happy president's blizzard of provocative tweets, voters say dump the device for good." [/FONT]
[FONT="]American voter opinions of most Trump qualities remain low:[/FONT]
- 59 - 37 percent that he is not honest;
- 60 - 38 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;
- 56 - 42 percent that he does not care about average Americans;
- 67 - 30 percent that he is not level headed;
- 61 - 37 percent that he is a strong person;
- 55 - 42 percent that he is intelligent;
- 61 - 36 percent that he does not share their values.
[FONT="]American voters disapprove 78 - 15 percent of the job Republicans in Congress are doing, worse than their 70 - 25 percent disapproval in a June 29 Quinnipiac University poll. Even Republican voters disapprove 61 - 32 percent. Voters disapprove 63 - 29 percent of the job Democrats in Congress are doing, virtually unchanged from June. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Voters say 47 - 38 percent, including 44 - 32 percent among independent voters, that they would like to see Democrats win control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2018 Congressional elections. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Voters also say 49 - 40 percent, including 47 - 34 percent among independent voters, they would like to see Democrats win control of the U.S. Senate next year. [/FONT]
[FONT="]By a narrow 48 - 44 percent voters approve of Trump's handling of the economy. He gets mostly negative approval ratings for handling other key issues:[/FONT]
- 38 - 57 percent for handling foreign policy;
- 38 - 59 percent for immigration;
- 34 - 59 percent for the environment;
- 34 - 60 percent for health care;
- 47 percent approve of his handling of terrorism and 45 percent disapprove.
