Poll: 50 percent approve of Trump’s job as president

Half of voters in a new Hill-HarrisX poll approve of the job Donald Trump is doing as president.

Fifty percent of registered voters in a Dec. 30-Jan. 3 survey said they approve of Trump’s job in the White House while another 50 percent disapprove.

On the issues of the economy and stimulating jobs, Trump received 59 percent support. 

Fifty-seven percent of respondents said they approve of the job Trump is doing at fighting terrorism, and 51 percent say the same of his performance on immigration.

Forty-nine percent of voters said they support Trump when it comes to administering the government, and 47 percent say the same on the issue of handling the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump has yet to concede the 2020 election to President-elect Biden.

Wednesday, pro-Trump supporters gathered in Washington D.C. as Congress began the process to formally certify Biden as the nation’s next president.

Protestors stormed the Capitol building causing evacuations throughout the premises.

The new Hill-HarrisX poll was conducted online among 3,787 registered voters. It has a margin of error of 1.59 percentage points.
