MSNBC: New Marist Poll Shows Trump’s Disapproval Ratings Stand at 39 Percent

BRZEZINSKI: “A new poll this morning from Marist College gives voters' latest opinions of the Trump presidency nearly a week after ordering military strikes in Syria. The President’s approval rating stands at 39 percent, up 1 point from late March, while the percentage of those who disapprove is down 2 points to 49 percent. 56 percent of Americans favor limited U.S. air strikes on military targets in Syria, but 59 percent don’t believe President Trump knows what he wants the United States to do there. Just 34 percent believe he has a plan. 49 percent disapprove of how Trump is handling foreign policy. That’s a 7-point improvement from February, as 40 percent approve, up 3 points. As for the impact of his decisions, 40 percent of Americans say he is strengthening the U.S. on the world stage, up five points. 49 percent say he is weakening the U.S., which has fallen from 56 percent earlier. However, only 42 percent have trust in him to make the right decision in an international crisis. 55 percent do not. 39 percent trust him to weigh all of the options before acting during a crisis, 58 percent do not.”
