Additional Trend Information

Sample and Methodology detail



With a boost from the U.S. economy, President Donald Trump gets a negative 40 - 55 percent approval rating, still under 50 percent, but his best overall score in seven months, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today.





President Trump had a negative 40 - 55 percent approval rating in a June 29, 2017, survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll.





In a survey conducted February 2 - 5, a total of 70 percent of American voters say the U.S. economy is "excellent" or "good," the highest rating since Quinnipiac University first asked this question in 2001 and up from 66 percent "excellent" or "good" January 10.





For the first time in a year, voters say 48 - 41 percent that President Trump is more responsible for the state of the economy than former President Barack Obama.





American voters approve 51 - 43 percent of the way Trump is handling the economy, his highest score on this issue since he was inaugurated.





A total of 75 percent of American voters say their financial situation is "excellent" or "good."





"The post State of the Union bump kicks in. And an attaboy on the economy doubles the pleasure for President Donald Trump," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "He's at 40 percent in his approval rating for the first time in more than seven months, but he's still nowhere near that magic 50 percent mark.





"Americans are feeling good about their personal finances, but we'll have to see whether the Wall Street plunge takes a toll on the guy in charge."





While still in negative territory, American voter approval of the Republican tax plan is at 39 - 47 percent, up from a negative 32 - 52 percent approval January 11 and the highest level of support so far.





American voters give Trump negative grades for his handling of other key issues:

37 - 57 percent for handling foreign policy;

32 - 58 percent for handling classified information;

39 - 58 percent for handling immigration;

45 percent approve of his handling of taxes, as 47 percent disapprove.

Trump is doing more to divide the country than to unite the country, voters say 60 - 35 percent.





Voters are divided on whether the president is racist as 49 percent say he is and 46 percent say he is not. There are wide party, gender and racial gaps.





Republicans say 85 - 10 percent Trump is not racist as Democrats say he is 84 - 13 percent. Independent voters are divided 47 - 45 percent.





Men say 55 - 40 percent Trump is not racist, while women say he is 56 - 37 percent.





White voters say 51 - 45 percent that Trump is not racist, but black voters say 74 - 12 percent that he is. Hispanic voters are divided 49 - 49 percent.





"It's a troubling toss up on whether Americans consider President Trump racist and he is deep in negative territory on his treatment of immigration, foreign policy and the handling of classified information," Malloy said.





From February 2 - 5, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,333 voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points, including the design effect. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.





The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts nationwide public opinion surveys, and statewide polls in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa and Colorado as a public service and for research.
