Schumer Cites CNN Poll Showing 73% Say Trump Has Wrong Priorities

3 articles · Updated · Senate Democratic Leadership · Jul 30

Summary

  • 73% of Americans say Donald Trump does not have the right priorities, and 72% disapprove of his handling of the Iran war, Schumer said in Senate floor remarks citing a new CNN poll.
  • 79% reported hardship from rising gas prices, while more than three in four said the Iran war has not been worth the cost, reinforcing Schumer’s argument that Trump is out of touch with voters.
  • Schumer said a record 73% believe Trump has not focused enough on the country’s most pressing issues and warned that Republicans could pay politically if the numbers persist into November.
  • The CNN findings add to a run of weak surveys for Trump, after an Economist/YouGov poll earlier put his job disapproval at 62%.
