Pollsters found respondents have low confidence in Trump’s ability to handle highly classified national security information.

Forty-one percent said they were “not confident at all,” 14 percent were “not too confident,” 17 percent were “somewhat confident,” 22 percent were “very confident” and 6 percent were uncertain or had no opinion.

Forty-four percent additionally said that government officials were right to leak that Trump shared sensitive information with Russian officials to the media, while 39 percent said they should have kept quiet.

Current and former U.S. officials told the Post that Trump relayed information from a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Trump’s “code-word information” disclosure risks damaging the relation with the intelligence source, which has access to ISIS’s inner workings.

Morning Consult conducted its latest survey of 1,970 registered voters via online surveys from May 16 to 18. It has a 2 percentage point margin of error.
