In the wake of President Donald Trump's decision to send National Guard troops to Washington D.C. in an effort to reduce crime, voters 56 - 41 percent oppose the move, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of registered voters released today.

There are wide partisan and gender differences.

Republicans (86 - 12 percent) support the president's decision to deploy the National Guard to the nation's capital to reduce crime, while Democrats (93 - 5 percent) and independents (61 - 34 percent) oppose it.

Men are split about the president's decision, with 50 percent supporting it and 47 percent opposing it, while women (63 - 33 percent) oppose it.

 

Voters were asked about Trump's handling of six issues...

• crime: 42 percent approve, while 54 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion;
• talks to end the war between Russia and Ukraine: 40 percent approve, while 52 percent disapprove, with 7 percent not offering an opinion;
• foreign policy: 40 percent approve, while 56 percent disapprove, with 5 percent not offering an opinion;
• the economy: 39 percent approve, while 57 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion;
• trade: 38 percent approve, while 56 percent disapprove, with 5 percent not offering an opinion;
• the Israel - Hamas conflict: 34 percent approve, while 53 percent disapprove, with 12 percent not offering an opinion

Sounds about right, soon those not offering an opinion will shift to disapprove. He really is falling like a rock.

Because people are finally waking up to the fact that he is dumb as a rock he is falling like a rock. Cover both bases.  

One poll from one organization cannot really reflect the opinions of a whole population.

The polls seem to be catching up to Trump as a lot of his policy is deeply unpopular amongst the majority of Americans, and the implementation and ways in which he is carried out his policies are even more unpopular.

Both can be true.

Except this poll runs pretty far right so it is significant that they are negative.
