Trump’s job approval has fallen recently, including among GOP voters

Only 19 percent of Americans believe that President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the election, according to the survey.

A new opinion poll released on Wednesday (22 March) revealed President Donald Trump’s declining approval and honesty ratings.

Not all the numbers in the poll are bad news for the president.

Marquette Law School has released its first poll of 2017.

There is a stark partisan split when assessing the job Trump is doing. That’s compared to 41 percent who approved of his job in a March 7 survey, with 52 percent disapproving.

Gov. Scott Walker’s approval rating is at 45 percent as he prepares for a likely run for a third term. The survey added 48% of respondents say Trump is less honest than previous presidents. The interval between the last poll, on March 7th, and this one nearly perfectly overlaps with the introduction and sale of the health-care bill.

The poll was conducted last week as a Republican health care bill, Trump’s budget proposal and Trump’s tweets about being wiretapped during the election – debunked by the Federal Bureau of Investigation director this week – all came under intense scrutiny. Among independents it was closer, with 38 percent approving and 44 percent disapproving. Not only that, but they also said Clinton would easily win the presidency.

Interestingly, that law was much more popular if referred to as the Affordable Care Act (51 percent favorable) than as Obamacare (40 percent favorable).

The Republican-controlled House could vote on the GOP health care bill as soon as Thursday.

Just 17 percent, by comparison, said they support the plan, and about a quarter, or 26 percent, said they were “undecided” in their approval of the AHCA, the poll found.

And their changes all point in this direction for a reason – rather than spend more money on giving people health care, they want to enact an enormous tax cut for high-income families, which leaves fewer resources for coverage.
