Majority Of Americans See Trump's First Year As A Failure
Source: NPR
As President Trump approaches the one-year anniversary of his inauguration, a majority of Americans think his first year in office has been a failure and that he's divided the nation.
A new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds that by a 53-to-40-percent margin, Americans deemed Trump's first year a failure. And by an almost 2-to-1 margin (61 to 32 percent), Americans said they believe Trump has divided the country since his election.
Americans give Trump relatively positive marks on his handling of ISIS and the state of the economy no small things. But on just about every other issue, they disapprove of his handling of them or they think things have gotten worse from their views of the tax plan to the state of race relations and women's rights to immigration, health care, the deficit and foreign policy, including his approach to North Korea. Seven-in-10 Americans are now concerned about the possibility of war breaking out with the rogue nuclear nation.
"The first-year grades for Trump are not good," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion. "He remains with his base intact and not much else. People remain doubtful in the institutions of our government, doubtful in how he's communicating things and how he's handling things. It's not a pretty picture for the president after the first year."

(145,321 posts)Trump is not a genius and so this finding make me smile https://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/americans-dont-think-trump-is-a-genius/
An overwhelming 73 percent of Americans said they did not think the president was a genius while just 21 percent of respondents in the ABC News/ Washington Post poll released Sunday agreed with the president's claims that he is a genius. Trump's physician said last week that he had no concerns about the president's cognitive ability, but the poll showed that Americans were split on their concerns about Trump's mental stability.
48 percent of respondents said they think Trump is mentally stable while 47 percent said they think he is not. Dr. Ronny Jackson conducted President Donald Trump's physical exam on January 12, and included mental function tests at the request of Trump himself.
