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.

Illegals included on the poll just like on November 8.

It was determined that people who voted for Trump are not Americans so they were left out of the poll. Illegals were included because Pelosi said they are “citizens”.

Didn’t the newsweek company sell the company for $1.00 a couple years ago. Someone got taken. What a dishonest worthless yellow sheet.

You do know, michelle, that we are not a democracy (aka mob rule) don't you?

As a little deluded insignificant worm, with total ignorance of the Constitution, the Constitutional debates, the Federalist Papers and the final Bill of Rights which broke the stalemate among the colonies, You need to argue, after the fact that they got it all wrong?

A pygmy among giants, the Founding Fathers, trying to Bullshit your way through a morass of arrogance and greed for power that even the queen of Bullshit, Hillary, couldn't achieve... what are you going to try next?

The mood of the doers isn't disposed to put up with more socialist wannabe tyrants; and your army of scared children of all ages is not up to the task of defeating the sleeping tiger that actually tolerated your shrieking demands for recognition.

You are a gnat, a worm, and your self-inflicted demise is close approaching.

Both you, and the losers you Galluped in on are in for a nasty surprise.

Newsweek is heavily LIBERAL LEFT leaning.. so you can figure
that any poll they conduct is going to reflect that.

I'd categorize their poll as "FAKE NEWS."

Seriously, can FR get a FAKE NEWS sidebar?

Then it would be the only sidebar with new entries.

What a bunch of lies. I doubt that they polled anyone in a town of less than 20,000 people.

Given the source, the demographics in the survey sample are likely skewed to insure what Gallup wanted, and what Newsweek wanted to report.
