Additional Trend Information

Sample and Methodology detail





A total of 63 percent of American voters say in a poll released today the nation's economy is "excellent" or "good," while 34 percent say it is "not so good" or "poor," the highest positive rating for the economy since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking the question in 2001.





A total of 76 percent of voters describe their own financial situation as "excellent" or "good," as 23 percent say "not so good" or "poor," the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe- ack) University Poll finds.





President Barack Obama is mostly responsible for the state of the economy, 45 percent of voters, including 29 percent of Republicans, say, while 43 percent say President Donald Trump is responsible.





In fact, voters disapprove 51 - 44 percent of the way President Trump is handling the economy.





American voters disapprove 59 - 37 percent with the way Trump is doing his job overall and give him low grades on most character traits:

62 - 34 percent that he is not honest;

62 - 35 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;

62 - 37 percent, that he does not care about average Americans;

70 - 28 percent that he is not level headed;

57 - 40 percent that he is a strong person;

52 - 45 percent that he is intelligent;

65 - 32 percent that he does not share their values.

"Confidence in the economy is eclipsed by profound doubts about the president's level headedness, honesty, empathy for fellow Americans and handling of foreign policy," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.





"A big bag of coal under the Mar-a-Lago tree from a voting public that has little confidence in the president."





American voters give Trump negative ratings for his handling of several key issues:

33 - 62 percent for handling foreign policy;

45 - 48 percent for handling terrorism;

37 - 60 percent for handling immigration;

29 - 64 percent for handling health care;

35 - 58 percent for handling taxes. Sexual Harassment/Sexual Assault

Fifty percent of American voters, including 59 percent of women and 41 percent of men, say President Donald Trump should resign because of sexual allegations against him.





Calling for President Trump's resignation are Democrats 85 - 12 percent and independent voters 52 - 44 percent, Republicans say 92 - 7 percent that he should not resign.





American voters say 66 - 30 percent, including 73 - 25 percent among women and 59 - 36 percent among men, that Trump does not respect women as much as he respects men.





Voters are divided 44 - 44 percent on whether they approve of how the Democratic Party is handling the issue of sexual harassment and sexual assault in politics. This is an improvement on the negative 30 - 52 percent approval rating December 6.





Voters disapprove 65 - 23 percent of how the Republican Party is handling sexual harassment/assault in politics. Republicans approve by a lackluster 46 - 37 percent.





"'That's it. You should quit,' half of American voters tell Trump," Malloy said.





American voters give both parties negative overall favorability ratings, 37 - 44 percent for the Democratic Party and 25 - 60 percent for the Republican Party.





Voters say 52 - 37 percent they want the Democrats to control of the House of Representatives, and say 53 - 37 percent they want Democrats to control the Senate.





Health care should be the most important priority for President Trump and Congress in 2018, 29 percent of American voters say, followed by 18 percent who list the economy, 11 percent who cite foreign policy and 11 percent who say immigration.





From December 13 - 18, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,230 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.
