A majority of Californians disagree with the way President Trump handled the NFL protests, according to a new poll.

A new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll found that 57 percent of those surveyed think Trump didn't handle the issue well. Just 18 percent of respondents said they agreed with the way he handled the protests.

According to the poll, Californians are also split over whether they support or oppose the NFL protests.

Thirty-eight percent of respondents oppose the protests, compared to 33 percent who support them. The poll found that more than three-quarters of Republicans strongly opposed the protests.

The survey was conducted among 1,504 voters in California from Oct. 27 to Nov. 6. The margin of error is three percentage points.

President Trump sparked controversy earlier this year when he attacked NFL players who kneel during the anthem.

During Sunday's early games, no NFL players protested during the national anthem. Players who previously knelt or raised their fists stood during the anthem.
