American voters like the way Trump is handling the economy, hate everything else

Opinions on most of Trump’s personal qualities also are negative, as American voters say:
55 – 40 percent that he is not honest;
55 – 42 percent that he does not have good leadership skills;
53 – 44 percent that he does not care about average Americans;
63 – 33 percent that he is not level-headed;
64 – 32 percent that he is a strong person;
58 – 38 percent that he is intelligent;
60 – 37 percent that he does not share their values.
Trump is doing more to unite the country, 36 percent of American voters say, while 58 percent say he is doing more to divide the nation.
A total of 38 percent of American voters think they can trust Trump to do what is right “almost all of the time” or “most of the time,” and 61 percent think they can trust Trump to do what is right “some of the time” or “hardly ever.”
In contrast, 58 percent of voters think they can trust U.S. courts to do what is right “almost all of the time” or “most of the time,” and 40 percent think they can trust the courts to do what is right “some of the time” or “hardly ever.”
American voters approve 59 – 38 percent of court actions blocking Trump’s executive order on immigration.
Looking at Trump’s immigration proposals, voters oppose:
49 – 43 percent “suspending immigration from ‘terror prone’ regions …;”
53 – 45 percent suspending for 90 days all travel to the U.S. by citizens from seven
Middle Eastern nations;
60 – 37 percent suspending for 120 days immigration of all refugees to the U.S. from any
nation;
68 – 27 percent suspending indefinitely all immigration to the U.S. of Syrian refugees
Voters disapprove 50 – 45 percent of the way the news media has covered Trump.
But voters disapprove 61 – 35 percent of the way Trump talks about the media.
And voters trust the media more than Trump 52 – 37 percent “to tell you the truth about important issues.”
“The media, so demonized by the Trump Administration, is actually a good deal more popular than President Trump,” Malloy said.
Voters approve 47 – 41 percent of the way Trump is handling the economy. Looking at his handling of other issues, voters:
Disapprove 56 – 36 percent of the way he is handling foreign policy;
44 percent approve of his handling of terrorism, as 49 percent disapprove;
Disapprove 58 – 40 percent of the way he is handling immigration issues.

Duck.
On a side note, strong majorities also consider him strong and intelligent. Other personal traits not so hot.

I find the following rather interesting considering only 1,323 people were polled.

As a political science professor at Winthrop University tweeted this morning "you can't explain to someone who doesn't understand sampling why size less relevant after threshold met - they'll never get it"

Whateva.
It's in the foreign policy realm that he is knocking it out of the park.
I have said several times I know that he MUST be good at picking good subordinates or he wouldn't be a billionaire. And excellent examples of that are the hires of Gens. Mattis and McMasters.

Most Americans, voters or otherwise, are drama queens and their "feels" meters have been working overtime.
20 yrs ago, nearly everyone in America would agree with President Trump right down the line.

Anybody who thinks he is more divisive than Obama is a fricking fool.
And other polls say differently on a lot of those issues

If the discharge stains of society weren't elevated to the forefront by the bias media outlets, it would be a non-issue. The hive mentality from the left helps spread the lies and perpetuate division.

From nine states out of fifty and 1,323 adults out of probably 200 million adults in the country? Is there one heavy republican state in that survey as opposed to four hardcore democratic states?

I can see how the way they describe their sampling can be misread at a glance, but it was a nationwide survey. And 1323 is a perfectly adequate (perhaps slightly above average, actually) sample for a nationwide poll in this country to achieve an industry standard confidence interval.

Is this a poll of likely voters?
What is the rep/Dem/ind spread?
