WASHINGTON (AP) — As armed National Guard troops patrol the nation’s capital as part of an unprecedented federal takeover of Washington’s police department, handling crime is now a relative strength for President Donald Trump, according to the latest AP-NORC poll.
Americans are generally not happy about the Republican president’s handling of issues like immigration and the economy but are more positive about his tough-on-crime approach, according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Indeed, the vast majority of Americans, 81%, see crime as a “major problem” in large cities — a concern Trump has seized on as he has deployed the National Guard to the District of Columbia and threatened to expand that model to cities across the country. And his overall approval rating has increased slightly, from 40% in July to 45% now.

Not just in major metros, either.
Take a look at the number of far less populous, far smaller cities and towns reportedly refusing to send their crime stats to the FBI.
“Americans are generally not happy about the Republican president’s handling of issues like immigration and the economy...”
More BS from AP.
President Trump is what ALL feckless, Quisling ‘republicans’ should STRIVE to be!
Chicago just had 6 murders the other day, and the mayor there is telling trump to stay away, that he is not needed or wanted. Chicagoans should be PISSED at their government for refusing g help to stop murders and crime n their cities! They shou.d be demanding a recall because the governors are shirking their duty to protect the citizens there!
Democrats were already looking pro crime with all their policies - cashless bail, revolving door incarceration, non-adherence to sentencing guidelines, defund the police, non-indicting das, pro homeless/addicts policies, pro squatter policies, etc. - and this will cement it for all the idiot centrists because not supporting DJT will translate as supporting crime.
The problem: centrists vote depending on how the wind blows and, as victims of the true pandemic, many harbor TDS.
The irony here is many black democrats may finally be waking up (at least those who have to work for a living). The evidence has even been posted here...
Warning: Language NSFW.
And the morons in Iowa elected another DemonRAT. Geez.

I think Americans would be more positive about both, since they realize illegal immigration and crime go hand-in-hand.

The comments on the site are in favor of national guard and pres Trump. Course it’s a conservative site, but still, I think people in places like Chicago are sick and tired of cri inals running their state!
The AP is, as always, full of Schiff!

Kinda reminds of the mafia hiding their criminal activities
…approval rating has increased “slightly,” from 40 to 45%
What a corrupt rag! They refer to 81% as “many” in their headline, instead of “the vast majority”.
Democrats standing up for Big Crime. Do not want their supporters jailed.
