In his own narcissistic frame of mind, Donald Trump believes he is a popular president that is running a well-oiled machine of government and doing the will of the American people. That is simply not true (except in his own imagination). The truth is very different:
* By an 11 point margin, the public disapproves of the job he is doing.
* By a 48 point margin, the public believes government is not working well.
* By a 7 point margin, the public supports Obamacare.
* By a 15 point margin, the public opposes building a wall on our Southern border.
* By a 21 point margin, the public believes immigration helps this country.
* By a 39 point margin, the public supports keeping Roe v. Wade in place.
* By a 32 point margin, the public opposes uses tax money to allow students to attend private schools.
* By a 65 point margin, the public believes membership in NATO is good for the U.S.
* By a 25 point margin, the public supports the United Nations.
* By a 33 point margin, the public believes Trump will get us into another major war.
* By a 5 point margin, the public opposes expanding our nuclear arsenal.
*By a 26 point margin, the public does not believe Russia is friendly toward the U.S.
*By a 7 point margin, the public believes China is friendly toward the U.S.
Every single one of the points above goes against Trump's beliefs and policies. He may accomplish what he wants, since his party does control Congress. But he is swimming against the tide, and if he persists, that tide could sweep him out of office.
The chart above was made with information motion from a new NBC News / SurveyMonkey Poll -- done between February 13th and 19th of a random national sample of 11,512 adults, with a 1.4 point margin of error.
