U.S. President Donald Trump | Shawn Thew/EPA Brits support Trump visit: poll It’s OK for US president to meet the queen, according to new figures.

Donald Trump's visit to the U.K. in early June is divisive, but new polling suggests more Brits are in favor of the trip than oppose it.

YouGov asked if the U.S. president's state visit, which runs from June 3-5, "should go ahead or be cancelled?" and 46 percent picked the former option, with 40 percent saying it should be called off. The polling company asked the same question before Trump’s 2018 U.K. visit, when 50 percent thought it should go ahead and 37 percent wanted it called off.

Brits were also more receptive to Trump meeting Queen Elizabeth. Ahead of the 2018 visit, 49 percent thought the monarch should keep her distance from the American president, with 35 percent saying it was OK for them to meet. This time the figures were 42 percent and 41 percent respectively. However, the 2018 Trump trip was a working visit and this time it's a state visit, which means the queen made the invitation and will be the official host.

YouGov spoke with 2,108 people on May 19-20.

Not everyone's happy about Trump's trip. Earlier this month, a Philadelphia-based anti-Trump campaigner said he was a shipping a 4.9-meter “Dumping Trump” robot from China to London in time for the president's state visit.

The robot depicts Trump with his trousers down, on the toilet and tweeting. It makes fart noises and plays recordings of common Trump phrases such as “a witch-hunt,” “you are fake news,” and “I’m a very stable genius.”
