Donald Trump Tells Israel to Stop Building New Settlements

President Donald Trump is already suffering the lowest popularity ratings in contemporary American history.

 
Washington, 06 Jumadil Awwal 1438/03 February 2017 (MINA) – Donald Trump has been President for 13 days and yet more than half of Americans are missing former President Barack Obama, according to a new poll.

A total of 52 per cent of Americans are yearning for Mr Obama, found a survey from Public Policy Polling, while just 43 per cent are glad that Mr Trump is in the White House.

Furthermore, 40 per cent want the new President to be impeached, up from 35 per cent one week ago, independnt.co.uk reported.

More than 500,000 people have also signed up to a petition by campaign group Impeach Trump Now on the basis that he has not taken a far enough step away from his real estate empire whilst in government.

Mr Trump, despite winning the electoral college, lost the popular vote by close to three million votes and is already suffering the lowest popularity ratings in contemporary American history.

The low numbers come down to opposition to his policies.

Only a quarter of Americans (26 per cent) were in favour of the Muslim ban, the executive order which barred nearly all travellers from seven Muslim-majority countries for at least 90 days.

Almost half of Trump supporters were in favour of the order, however, and 48 per cent believed the protesters at airports around the country – as well as people at the women’s marches – were paid by billionaire investor and Hillary Clinton supporter George Soros.

Mr Trump’s view that millions of illegal voters cost him the popular vote is not widely shared (26 per cent agreement) and 54 per cent of voters are opposed to Americans paying to build the wall along the Mexican border.

The wall is estimated to cost as much as $14 billion and Mexican President Pena Nieto has vowed he will not reimburse the US. (T/RS05/RS01)
