More than two-thirds of Americans credit President Donald Trump for the country’s healthy economy, a new poll has revealed.

The CBS News poll, which was released on Sunday, shows a sharp partisan divide, with Republicans more likely to give the president positive reviews while Democrats and Independents are not as complimentary.

According to the survey, 35 per cent of Americans say Trump’s policies are ‘a great deal’ responsible for the economy.

Around the same number - 33 per cent - say the president’s policies are ‘somewhat’ responsible.

Nearly one-third say that Trump is either ‘not very’ or ‘not at all’ responsible for the strong economy.

Despite the credit Trump is getting, an overwhelming majority of those surveyed say the president is chiefly looking out for the uber-wealthy.

Some 88 per cent of respondents say the president is mostly in line with big business, with nearly 49 per cent saying that he is also looking out for the working and the middle class.

Economists expect growth will accelerate in the second quarter as households start to feel the impact of the Trump administration’s $1.5trillion income tax package on their paychecks.

Lower corporate and individual tax rates as well as increased government spending will likely lift annual economic growth to the administration’s 3 per cent target, despite the weak start to the year.

When asked if they believe the Trump-Kim summit will result in North Korea giving up its nuclear weapons, 47 per cent say it is ‘too soon’ to tell

Republicans are also more likely to credit Trump with keeping promises. Half say that the president has done what he pledged to do during the campaign, while one-third say he just hasn’t gotten around to keeping his other promises.

Trump is widely perceived as better on the economy than he is at international relations.

More than half of those polled say that they either have little confidence or no confidence at all in his handling of Iran and North Korea.

The president trashed his predecessor Barack Obama’s signature foreign policy achievement by pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal earlier this month.

As far as North Korea is concerned, Trump is scheduled to meet with Pyongyang’s ruler, Kim Jong-un, in a few weeks for a summit that many hope will lead to a new era in peaceful relations between America and its longtime Communist foe.

Kim has threatened to cancel the summit in response to public statements by Trump administration officials demanding that the North commit to full denuclearization.

Trump can take solace in the fact that a slim majority says it agrees with the president’s policies toward China.

The president has taken a hard line against China, particularly on the issue of trade.

Views on Trump’s foreign policy effectiveness are also divided along party loyalties.

Two-thirds of Republicans say the president’s negotiations with North Korea and Iran have been successful.

An overwhelming majority of Democrats, however, say Trump’s handling of these issues has been unsuccessful.

When asked if they believe the Trump-Kim summit will result in North Korea giving up its nuclear weapons, 47 per cent say it is ‘too soon’ to tell.

Slightly more than one-third - 35 per cent - say it will not, while 18 per cent say it will.

Not surprisingly, Republicans were more optimistic than Democrats that Kim will take steps toward denuclearization.
