Fox News poll: Heavy opposition to Trump on health care, travel ban

A top heavy majority of Americans disapprove of President Trump's handling of health care, with a similar majority opposing the president's revised ban on travel from six Muslim nations and temporary barring of Syrian refugees.

Several Fox News hosts -- notably Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly -- serve as nonstop cheerleaders for Trump, but the network's pollster found unpopularity out in the country.

Just 43 percent of those surveyed approve of the job being done by the 45th President, while 51 percent disapprove. The finding represents a 5 percent drop in approval. In a February poll by Fox, 48 percent approved and 47 percent disapproved.

The Republicans' health care plan appears to be dragging down the party and its president.

Only 35 percent of those surveyed approve Trump's handling of health care: 55 percent disapprove.

More than half of voters, 54 percent, oppose the Republican health care plan, approved Thursday by a narrow 19-17 vote in the House Budget Committee. Just 34 percent favor the GOP's plan. A surprising 72 percent said they are at least somewhat familiar with the Republicans' plan.

The Affordable Care Act, as known as Obamacare, has seen a surge of support as Republicans plot how to dismantle it. Fifty percent have a favorable opinion of Obamacare, up from 38 percent two years ago. Forty-seven percent have a negative opinion.

The poll found a majority of voters, 54 percent, disapprove of Trump's revised travel crackdown, dubbed the "Muslim ban" by critics. No. 2, while 34 percent believe the new Executive Order would make America safer.

The Republicans may have made a political error in taking on Planned Parenthood.

As Fox reported, more voters have a favorable opinion of Planned Parenthood (57 percent) than of Vice President Mike Pence, President Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan, Congress' Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

A particularly discomforting finding for the conservative-leaning Fox: 61 percent have a favorable view of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, versus just 32 percent unfavorable.

The Fox News poll is based on landline and cellphone interviews with 1,008 registered voters nationwide. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points for all registered voters.
