2017 US Politics - The Perception That Morality is a Major Problem Facing American has been Creeping Upwards (December 13)
Listen to The Point Being, a podcast from the Ipsos Polling Team, where Chris Jackson and Phil Elwood discuss this week’s numbers.
After a rough week, including defeat of Roy Moore in the Alabama Special Election, a fresh round of controversial tweets, and a scathing editorial from USA Today, President Trump’s approval rating stands at 33% this week, the lowest ratings of his administration.
Healthcare remains the most concerning problem facing Americans today (17%), followed by terrorism (13%) and the economy (10%) and morality (10%). The perception that morality is a major problem facing American has been creeping upwards since the President Trump took office in January. Republicans are most concerned with terrorism (19%), while Democrats and Independents are most concerned with health care (23% and 15% respectively).
Rex Tillerson (18%) and Jeff Session (16%) top the list of Ipsos Wh’Exit Poll, a 2-point increase for Attorney General Sessions, and a 4-point decrease for Secretary Tillerson since last week. John F. Kelly (8%) and Sarah Sanders (7%) trail distantly behind the Secretary of State and the Attorney General.
