Just 17 of Americans Have a Positive View of Jared Kushner
Jared Kushner has a lower approval rating than President Donald Trump, special counsel Robert Mueller and former FBI Director James Comey, according to a new poll. The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Thursday found that just 17 of respondents had a very or somewhat positive view of Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and his senior adviser. While about a quarter of respondents said they felt neutral 24 about Kushner or didn't know his name and weren't sure 28, about a third of respondents 31 said they had a negative view of him. Kushner's negative rating was exceeded only by Trump's, which hit 50 along with 38 of respondents approving of him. Kushner traveled to the Middle East this week to encourage peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders. When it comes to lawmen, 29 had a positive view and another 29 had a negative view of Comey and 24 had a positive view of Mueller, while 11 disliked him. The poll, which surveyed 900 adults between June 17 and June 20, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.27 percentage points.
