The key issue of the 2018 midterms may stick around to trouble President Donald Trump in 2020: Americans, by a 17-point margin, say his handling of health care makes them more likely to oppose than support him for a second term.
While more than half of people say they definitely won’t support Trump, 42% of Americans overall, and 45% of registered voters, say they’d at least consider him for a second term. Trump won 46.1% of the popular vote compared to Hillary Clinton’s 48.2% in 2016, demonstrating that losing the popular vote is irrelevant if you win the Electoral College.
Overall approval may be chief among Trump’s challenges. He’s averaged just a 38% approval rating since he took office, the lowest by far for any president in his first 2 1/4 years in office in surveys dating back to Harry Truman’s administration more than 70 years ago. • The Mueller report produces a 22-point net negative score for Trump: 36% say it makes them more likely to oppose him for re-election, versus just 14% more likely to support him. As reported Friday, 58% think Trump lied to the public about the Mueller investigation.
It’s a sentiment that Trump may have harnessed to help him win the White House, but it’s working against him now that he’s in power. Trump has a 63% approval rating among those who say the political system benefits all people, and 68% approval among those who say all benefit from the economic system. But among the sizable majorities who say these systems mainly benefit the powerful, his approval ratings dive to 31% and 23%, respectively.
More ridiculous poles. Obama screwed up our health care by lying to the people about keeping their plans and their doctors. Where were the polls then? Don't bullshit the people.
I certainly hope this is one poll that is correct.
BS
Congress, not Trump is the problem. If people vote for more Republicans in 2020, Congress will be able to put in a wonderful Healthcare Plan! 👍🇺🇸😊
Weather they repeal or not, this disaster started with the Dems, they had a big idea, didn't even read it first, passed it, spent 10 trillion, 39 EO and still couldn't get it right. I blame the Dems it was their grand the plan and they screwed it up.
LeslieMarshall Americans, the only problem with this poll is that only Democrats questioned. You cannot make this stuff up. FAKE NEWS “GET REAL” MAGA
Doing the best you can to do the DNC’s bidding!
WaPo poll has zero credibility
LeslieMarshall People still let Polls manipulate and dictate how they think?.even if they don’t want to admit it,it’s a subconscious thing..i stopped reading polls long time ago,I can make up my own mind.
LeslieMarshall I sure as hell hope so.
I knew very few people who were ever enrolled in the UCA unaffordable care act. Never was fair imposing on the people a mandate to pay.
BullCrap! No one should have to pay for someone else’s health insurance. Democrats the new Socialists Party for lazy people. Get a job!
I have never been polled. ✅Donald Trump
No numbers given on how many ppl were in the poll or locations it was given too . Smdh . Reading the full article again states approve later in article
He needs the dems vote he can’t do that with out them democrats own the house remember that
Isn’t that why he lost the house? Once people realized they ACA and Obama care was the same thing most weren’t happy. I had to explain to two different people that voted for him that it was the same thing. Both saying it was different, both angry after the fact
What “handling of heath care” most should ask themselves...
Polls 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Who do you clowns pole, we saw what Dem=Liberals did with health care.
Seems Obamacare is far more popular than Trump’s un-alternative.
Can you at least give credit to intern who makes this shit up?
Americans believe what you tell them. Do better. Be honest.
Include me!
