Poll Finds Majority Disapprove of President Trump’s Executive Orders
Newsweek ^ | Feb. 2, 2017 | Michele Gorman

Posted on 02/02/2017 6:38:18 PM PST by Innovative

All three of President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders have earned majority disapproval ratings among Americans, according to a new Gallup poll released Thursday afternoon.

Arguably the most controversial order came on January 27, when Trump banned Syrian refugees and immigrants from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the United States. Since then, Americans in cities from coast to coast have gathered in airports and streets to protest the ban, while the White House defends the president’s actions. Even some fellow Republicans have publicly criticized the ban.

According to the poll, more than half—55 percent—of Americans disapprove of the temporary travel ban, while 42 percent support the measure. And 58 percent disapprove of Trump indefinitely suspending the country’s Syrian refugee program.

You are guilty of spreading fake news. Fix the headline to put the word “Liberal: in front of it. Better yet, quit posting this crap here.

Ridiculous! But, folks are no longer buying into the fake news as much. So it's really more "pathetic" than "ridiculous", which bodes well for we conservatives.

Is this a Gallup poll? Anyway, Gallup did not do polling during the election this time around out of fear they would not be able to accurately poll. This was according to Gallup.

FAKE Poll!!

I don't trust any negative news about Trump anymore. The liberal world is out to get him and he really does need our trust and support.

We must all take a stand 24/7 against the attacks on him. He's our guy.

okay I see it’s a Gallup poll. They keep pushing this narrative at Gallup.

Tell me how that many Americans flipped so quickly on illegal immigration and refugees? I mean, Gallup. If you’re going to concoct a poll with over sampling a certain group to get the results you want, then you should make it somewhat believable. You can’t get past the smell test with this poll. Trying to make us think 55% of Americans in an accurate sampling do not support this “ban” is laughable. We know better.

the word “controversial” says it all. Code word to question non-leftist policies.

Nah this is Newsweek pushing a Gallup poll, the only polling outfit that keeps pushing the narrative the ban is unpopular, when other polls like Rasmussen, Reuters and Quinnipiac show the opposite; that the majority of people do support it.

Gallup did NOT do polling during the presidential campaign.
