Quinnipiac poll: U.S. Voters approve Obama but disapprove Trump

HAMDEN, Conn. (WTNH) — The Quinnipiac University National Poll has released their recent findings on president Barack Obama and president-elect Donald Trump.

According to their polls, American voters have given Obama his highest approval rating in seven years with 55-39 percent voters approving of the job he has done. The same voters disapproved of way that Trump has been handling the position 51-37 percent. Polling of these same voters also found that 45% of voters believe that Trump will be a worst president, 34% saying he will be a better president, and 15 % saying he will do about the same.

However, the polling center has found that 52-43 percent of Americans are optimistic about the next four years with Trump serving in the Oval Office with 47-31 percent believing that he will help improve the economy.

“President Barack Obama leaves the White House a lot more popular than Donald Trump is as he crosses the threshold and saddles up for the most important job in the world,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. “President-elect Trump gets points for strength and intelligence, but voters’ feelings about his personality traits, empathy, leadership and level-headedness, are headed south.”

In terms of Trump’s presence on social media, people who were polled believed that he should close his twitter. In fact 71-26 percent of voters ages 18 to 34, say that Trump she close his account now that he will become president.

Connecticut governor Malloy had been adamant that Trump should delete his account saying “140 characters may not be enough to tell Donald Trump just how much Americans want him to knock off the tweeting.”

‘Scuse me. Nobody called my house, but I will guarantee you that 100% of my household would say Trump has ALREADY been a better president than Zero.

Quinnipiac? Isn’t that in CT? One of our most irretrievably liberal bastions?

Their poll of the 2016 election had Clinton winning by substantial margins, so nothing they say from now on has any validity...........

Polls?

Right. Hillary will carry 320 electoral votes and Donald Trump will never be the Republican nominee.

Give this $hit a rest! It's over dimwit.

All this irrelevant polling $hit and anyone who continues to post it should be banned or at least their thread pulled...It's really getting as old as all republicans/Trump supporters are racists, Russian hacking, Trump's golden shower, fake news etc.

If you're interested in fake polls based on fake news got to CNNMSNBCABCCBS AND sadly WAY too often FOX.

OH and don't forget to "GOOGLE" it so you can support the low life scumbags there too.

My approval for Barack Hussein is likely to rise . . . in nine days. Until then, I strongly object to the exceptionally grave danger posed by that bigoted communist to the Constitution of the United States. Until then, I consider the antisemitic druggie to be a clear and present danger to our national security and to everything decent on earth.

I’m guessing we’ll have 4 years of #fakepolls accompanying #fakenews.
