TRUMP IS DIVIDING THE COUNTRY, U.S. VOTERS SAY 2-1, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NATIONAL POLL FINDS




President Donald Trump is doing more to divide the country, 62 percent of voters say, while 31

American voters disapprove 60 – 32 percent of Trump’s response to the events in
Charlottesville.
President Trump’s decisions and behavior have encouraged white supremacist groups, 59
percent of voters say, as 3 percent say he has discouraged these groups and 35 percent say he has
had no impact on them.

anonymously I am sure they would agree with the majority of the population. We have to put more blame on the GOP. It must be a non stop, 100% effort on the part of the citizens, the media, and corporations.
