President Donald Trump’s fragile ego may not survive a new survey from Public Policy Polling that shows a majority of respondents wish former president Barack Obama was still in office. And that’s not the end of the bad news for Trump.
52% of respondents said they wished Obama was starting his third term. 41% preferred Trump over Obama.
But the real kicker is in the details.
- 54% of people think Trump is dishonest.
- 53% think he has not fulfilled his campaign promise to “Make America great again.”
- 48% of respondents think he should be impeached.
- 47% of people think Trump is mentally incompetent.
Trump lost every time when respondents were asked whether they had a higher opinion of him or major media outlets. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and ESPN were all seen more favorably and as more trustworthy.
