FOR RELEASE: APRIL 19, 2017
U.S. VOTERS SUPPORT SYRIA BOMBING 2-1, LIFTING TRUMP;
QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NATIONAL POLL FINDS;
VOTERS DIVIDED ON TRUMP’S HANDLING OF NORTH KOREA
American voters say 61 – 31 percent President Donald Trump’s decision to launch a missile strike
in Syria was the right decision, giving him a slight lift in his job approval rating, although it still is
a negative 40 – 56 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.
Today’s job approval rating compares to a negative 35 – 57 percent approval rating in
April 4 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.
While President Trump’s approval rating has inched up, his disapproval remains fairly
constant in the total and among various groups. For example, his negative approval among men
goes from 39 – 51 percent April 4 to 46 – 50 percent today. The negative approval among
women goes from 31 – 63 percent two weeks ago to 34 – 62 percent today.
American voters are divided on how Trump is handling North Korea as 45 percent
approve and 42 percent disapprove.
American voters’ opinions of some of Trump’s personal qualities are still mostly
negative:







58 – 37 percent that he is not honest, compared to 61 – 34 percent April 4;
55 – 40 percent that he does not have good leadership skills, unchanged;
57 – 42 percent that he does not care about average Americans, little change;
63 – 33 percent that he is not level-headed, compared to 66 – 29 percent;
61 – 36 percent that he is a strong person, compared to 64 – 33 percent;
58 – 38 percent that he is intelligent, compared to 60 – 35 percent;
61 – 35 percent that he does not share their values, virtually unchanged.
“With only a slight bombing bump, President Donald Trump stays mired in miserable
numbers. The first 100 days draw to a close with character flaws overwhelming his strongest
traits, intelligence and strength as a person,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the
Quinnipiac University Poll.

Quinnipiac University Poll/April 19, 2017 – page 2
American voters say 62 – 30 percent that the U.S. missile strike in Syria will not be
effective in preventing the Syrian government from using chemical weapons in the future.
Voters say 49 – 44 percent that it is not in the U.S. national interest to be involved in the Syrian
conflict, but say 52 – 40 percent that America has a “moral responsibility to get involved.”
A total of 78 percent of voters are “very concerned” or “somewhat concerned” about the
U.S. getting into a war in Syria, like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A total of 72 percent of
voters are “very concerned” or “somewhat concerned” that U.S. involvement in Syria could lead
to armed conflict with Russia.
Trump Family Favorability
American voters give President Trump a negative 39 – 56 percent favorability. First
Lady Melania Trump gets a 34 – 24 percent favorability.
First Daughter Ivanka Trump has a positive 36 – 31 percent favorability, but voters say
53 – 36 percent that it is not appropriate that she play a “significant role in the White House.”
First Son-in-Law Jared Kushner gets a negative 15 – 32 percent favorability rating, with
50 percent who don’t know enough about him to form an opinion of him. Voters say 53 – 32
percent that it is not appropriate that he play a “significant role in the White House.”
“When it comes to President Trump’s immediate family, Ivanka and the First Lady get
so-so marks,” Malloy said.
American voters disapprove 56 – 40 percent of the way Trump is handling foreign
policy. His grades on handling other issues are:





49 percent approve of the way he is handling U.S. policy toward Syria and 45 percent
disapprove;
Disapprove 49 – 42 percent of the way he is handling the economy;
Disapprove 51 – 44 percent of the way he is handling terrorism;
Disapprove 58 – 39 percent of the way he is handling immigration;
Disapprove 61 – 31 percent of the way he is handling the environment.
From April 12 – 18, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,062 voters nationwide with a
margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.
The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public
opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia,
