Poll: 40 percent of voters believe Trump is fit to be president, a new low

[Rhiannon12866]

Only four in 10 registered voters believe President Donald Trump is fit for office, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.

The 40 percent mark is a new low for respondents to the Quinnipiac survey, which asked the same question in September and October. Fifty-seven percent of respondents to the latest poll said Trump is not fit for the office he holds.

While 86 percent of self-identified Republicans said Trump is fit to serve, an overwhelming 93 percent of Democrats said the opposite. And nearly 60 percent of independents agreed with Democrats who said Trump is not fit to serve as president.

Ninety-three percent of people who identify as black and 70 percent of people who identify as Hispanic said Trump is not fit to serve. White voters, however, were largely split on the question of Trump’s fitness for office: 49 percent said he is fit; 48 percent said he isn’t fit.

1. 40 percent dumbfucks

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I also have trouble believing it's that many!

They must be polling those who just awakened from long comas and space aliens who just landed on this planet...

[whathehell]

6. Me too..

That is way too high!.. Hopefully, it"s not accurate.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. It also depends on who they're polling.

It says 93% of Democrats and 60% of independents believe he's "not fit to serve." And that number is growing...

[whathehell]

13. Yes, that's true..

Still too many...I:m amazed (and disgusted) that Trump can reach as high as 30%, seriously.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Me, too.

The thing is, we're paying attention. There are people who never watch the news, just go by what they happen to hear about, and I'm afraid that's a whole lot of people. Though I think the number who disapprove of Trump is growing simply because there is so much coverage, compared to any president we've had, it's almost impossible to avoid hearing about the shitgibbon...

He may have gotten a lot of votes because of the unprecedented media coverage he received during the campaign, but now it's also really tough to avoid hearing about his constant offenses.

3. I hope he reads the polls and leaves the country

on a permanent trip abroad...good riddance!

4. Let''s see,politico,hmmmm.

If their polling is 40%,well a real poll most likely is 29-30%.

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Well, it's just one poll

Despite living in a traditionally Republican area, I don't know anyone personally who can stand Trump. And local Democratic candidates won big here last week. I'm only guessing, but I wouldn't be surprised some of that is a reaction to the odiousness of Trump. The rest is because they were far and away the better candidates.

7. Do they still lean Right?

I kind of lost track.

[Raine]

9. That many???

I thought he was at 38%, looks like he's gone up.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I know, last I heard it was at 32%

And it says 93% of Democrats believe he's "not fit to serve." I'm also surprised than number isn't higher...

[UCmeNdc]

11. Headline should read 60% of voters believe Trump is unfit to be president

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Or, in the case of Democrats, 93%

[WinkyDink]

15. Frightening that the 40% walk among us.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. I'm keeping faith that it has to be shrinking by the day

The more exposure Trump gets, the more people see his outrageous and offensive behavior.

[WinkyDink]

18. I think many of the 40% LIKE it when he offends foreign leaders.

[ColoradoBlue]

17. White voters

White voters are just the worst. (And I'm a white voter.)
