Public Dislikes Trump (Personally And On The Issues)



Donald Trump remains upside-down in job approval -- which has been true since he took office. Part (maybe most) of this is because the public simply doesn't like Trump as a person. As the top chart shows, about 53% have an unfavorable opinion of him while only 39% have a favorable opinion.

That's not good. Voters don't tend to vote for people they don't like, and he won't have any coattails for Republicans to cling to in the coming election. But it's not just their dislike of Trump as a person. As the second chart shows, the public disagrees with Trump on almost all issues. They don't like the direction he is taking the country.

The charts use information in a recent Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between April 22nd and 24th of a random national sample of 1,500 adults, with a margin of error of 3 points.
