Poll Finds Majority Disapprove of President Trump’s Executive Orders
Newsweek ^ | Feb. 2, 2017 | Michele Gorman

Posted on 02/02/2017 6:38:18 PM PST by Innovative

All three of President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders have earned majority disapproval ratings among Americans, according to a new Gallup poll released Thursday afternoon.

Arguably the most controversial order came on January 27, when Trump banned Syrian refugees and immigrants from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the United States. Since then, Americans in cities from coast to coast have gathered in airports and streets to protest the ban, while the White House defends the president’s actions. Even some fellow Republicans have publicly criticized the ban.

According to the poll, more than half—55 percent—of Americans disapprove of the temporary travel ban, while 42 percent support the measure. And 58 percent disapprove of Trump indefinitely suspending the country’s Syrian refugee program.

I only trust one poll, People’s Pundit Daily which had the national # at Cankles +1.5 and Trump winning EC with PA, FL, MI.

E.O.s are temporary.
Trump should remind people that they, (used as he intends) direct policy changes with the intention of steering legislation to be ‘refined’ by our Representatives and passed as law.
‘Refined’ usually means some compromises but, don't expect a deal maker like Trump to let on about this.

Spiritual Warfare trying to go hot.

He is going to withraw from the race any day now.

The next Jill Stein recount will do the trick. We all know he won't be elected.

Fake. Trump didn’t ban anyone. He merely ordered a temporary pause in issuing new credentials to make sure that there are uniform and effective rules for vetting.

He also ordered that those applying must not be bigoted against minority religions (non-radical muslims and others), gays, women, and must not support honor killings.

He also ordered that the personal face to face interview required by law be followed and not waived.

So LSM is asking whether the public approves of actions that Trump didn’t even take. Pure FAKE polls and info.

Gallup did not do polling during the presidential campaign. They didn’t do it because they didn’t think they could do accurate polling. Wonder why they think they can do it now?

Good question. I imagine most of the callers asking the questions are illegal aliens or Muslims anyway.

I was a subscriber when the Duke fiasco took place and their cover was a absolute disgrace.

I’ve never read the magazine since.

Didn’t we just have an election?

Yes, Trump lost the polls and won the election.
That makes him President of the United States but ineligible for an Oscar.

I believe Gallup’s negative opinion poll the day before the election had President Trump at 60% unfavorable. So they obviously suck at their job of taking pills. Gallup gets it wrong, don’t let people forget it when you hear this junk poll data.
