Poll: Majority disapproves of Trump, GOP's handling of deficit
A majority of Americans say they disapprove of how Republicans and the Trump administration have handled the budget deficit, according to a new American Barometer poll.
Fifty-six percent said they disproved of the handling of the budget deficit, which is set to top $1 trillion this year under the administration's own estimates. Just 44 percent said they approved.
The survey, a joint project of The Hill and the HarrisX polling company, found that just 21 percent of Republicans, however, disapprove of the GOP's handling of the deficit. Seventy-nine percent of Republicans polled said they approved of the work done by the administration and Republicans on the deficit.
Democrats and Independents see the rising red ink as a problem.
Only 19 percent of Democrats polled said they approved of how the administration and GOP has handled the budget, compared to 81 percent who disapproved.
