Americans Like President Trumps Immigration Ban More Than They Like Him Poll
The approval ratings for President Donald Trump's controversial immigration ban are higher than the approval ratings for Trump himself, according to a new poll released Wednesday. The Morning Consult/Politico poll found Trump's disapproval rating has grown worse during his first weeks in the White House. Nearly 50 of respondents disapprove of how Trump is handling his new job, an increase from 41 in the previous week. That trend echoes other polls that have found Trump's early disapproval ratings to be higher than those of his predecessors. Trump's approval rating also fell slightly from 49 to 47, the poll found. That two-point difference is still within the poll's margin of error, which is plus or minus 2 percentage points. Still, a majority of people 55 approve of Trump's controversial immigration ban, while just 38 disapprove, splitting heavily along partisan lines. While 82 of Republicans support the immigration order, 65 of Democrats oppose it. The poll, which surveyed 2,070 registered voters online, was conducted from Feb. 2 to Feb. 4.
