Poll: 61% Percent Concerned about Trump's Experience

Donald Trump has highlighted his credentials as an outsider throughout his 2016 campaign, but six-in-ten American voters say they're unsure about his lack of military or government experience, a new NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll shows.

And more than 40 percent say they're very uncomfortable about the holes in his resume, which would make him the first president without a record of military or elected public service.

I don't recall any polls asking people whether they were concerned about Obama's lack of executive experience, when he was running for president.

I think that running a large business, as Trump has been doing provides him with plenty of relevant experience.

[choctaw man]

If it’s Trump vs Clinton, worry about Clinton!!

[JudyinCanada]

It was experienced politicians who got America into the mess she’s in.

No experience in politics, coupled with brains, brashness and common sense is a plus.

[OttawaFreeper]

I wonder what people think of Hillary’s “experience”, compared to Trump’s?

[Diogenesis]

95.1% of Americans are very concerned that
NBC lies routinely,
makes up their polls to effect results;
and two thirds of of those Americans
have thrown something
at the TV at least once in the last two years,
or either cursed or wished the NBC anchor was in prison.

He did have political experience, but that does not ensure a President’s capabilities. He is an abject failure to anyone honestly assessing his two terms. Unless of course his goal was to destroy this country, which means he did a bang up job in at least causing real damage.

[Cicero]

Trump has run numerous businesses, hired many workers, found many very competent executives to help run his businesses. And he has excellent political ideas.

Hillary has never done anything but lie, cheat, and steal. And murder anyone who gets in her way. Her only real business accomplishment was Whitewater. She did nothing as Senator, screwed up repeatedly as Sec of State (except to continue putting money in her pockets), and is a lesbian woman-hater.

So, now Hillary is the political expert?

[BenLurkin]

Indeed. Obama had never so much as run a lemonade stand — but the pinko “news” media said it was A-OK.

Who out there is dumb enough to think Trump has less experience than that?

[PJammers]

Considering the position of the president is the chief of the executive branch, I’d say, Trump having 40 plus years as CEO of a multinational company, is well qualified.

[Robert DeLong]

Washington & Lincoln had no political experience prior to their Presidencies, and only Washington had any military experience.

[yoe]

I suppose be a community organizer is all you need and the Saul Alinsky play book.

I'll take the successful businessman who loves his country any day over a tired old Bolshevik and a long in the tooth political crook.

[stephenjohnbanker]

NBC......in other words, ash can.

[TTFlyer]

It’s from NBC. It’s bull****.

[darkwing104]

Dear NBC...nobody is buying your bull-crap anymore. Your ratings says it all.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

[Nifster]

Being unsure is not the same as being worried

[Lexington Green]

NBC is dishonest. Nothing they say can be trusted.

[samtheman]

Post #5, correct

[Cobra64]

I would point out to these morons that Trump is a billionaire, international business tycoon, has employed hundreds of thousand of people over his career, and is one of the few politicians who has signed the front of a paycheck.

How many politicians can claim to have built dozens of hotels and golf courses all over the world?

.

I doubt any politician today could even afford to fuel Trump's $100 million Boeing 757.

[DoughtyOne]

CEO experience...

LMAO

Seriously? He only has 40 years of experience...
