ERIE, Pa. -- Despite Erie County going red during the general election, a new poll shows that some Erie County residents do not approve of President Donald Trump's actions.
The poll, conducted by Mercyhurst University's Center for Applied Politics, found 41 percent of 419 registered voters in the county approve of Trump and 49 percent disapprove.
Sixty percent disapprove of how he is handling relationships with other nations compared to 30 percent that approve.
Fifty-three percent said that Trump's criticism of the media is unfair while 41 percent say it's justified.
[...]
Despite much of the negativity, 49 percent of people did approve of the way he is handling the economy.
Trump won Erie County, PA 48%-46%. Obama won the County in 2012 by 57%-41%.[/quote]
It's one county in Pennsylvania, and obviously not representative of Pennsylvania as a whole. Candidate Trump promised big, but he has delivered poorly so far.
I salivate at the prospect of statewide polls of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Roanoake College, Virginia:
Trump -- approve 32%, disapprove 50%
Congress -- approve 20%, disapprove 62%
Is the President...
moving too fast 46%
about right 35%
not fast enough 12%
refused 8%
On some other issues, Virginians are opposed to building a border wall, the ban on Muslims, and wholesale deportations.
