During the campaign, Donald Trump said that, post-election, he would be so presidential it would be boring. At a recent rally, Trump said he can be more presidential than any president “except the great Abraham Lincoln.” But while Trump's opinion of Trump is never-flagging, a new GW Battleground poll finds that the American public has a slightly different take.
The survey, taken August 13-17, found a large majority of voters — 71 percent — agreed his “behavior is not what I expect from a president” (27 percent disagreed), and 68 percent agreed his “words and actions could get us accidentally involved in an international conflict” (29 percent disagreed).
Seventy-one percent of voters don't think Trump is presidential. In fact, the non-presidential nature of Trump's behavior is the most universal response in the survey.
“If there is anything approaching a consensus in today’s sharply divided America, it’s that Trump speaks and behaves inappropriately given the office he holds.”
Other results from the poll showed 63 percent believe the nation is on the wrong track. A majority of voters also thought that Trump's campaign acted inappropriately in relations with Russia.
