While some voters would be upset if he softened his position on a core issue like immigration, most feel that the ineffectiveness of his own party s leadership in gress is a potential reason why the president would try to work with ocrats. Pres. s current job rating stands at a net negative 40% approve and 4 disapprove. This is largely unchanged from his -4 rating in August. The poll also finds that public opinion of the U.S. gress continues to lag behind the president at 1 approve and 6 disapprove. Donald s approval rating continues to hold steady. Rampant speculation that recent overtures to ocrats would undermine critical support in his base is not supported by these results, said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute. The poll finds that s recent discussions with gressional ocrats have sown little doubt among his supporters. In general terms, a majority of all Americans (5) say that s actions in the past month without any reference to meeting with ocrats or other specific behaviors have not raised any questions about where he stands on core conservative principles, while 3 say recent actions have raised questions. But those with questions are more likely to be ocrats rather than ublicans. Specifically, among Americans who report having voted for in 2016, just 1 say his recent actions have raised questions about his principles while the vast majority (7) say he has not done anything to make them question where he stands. Moreover, just of all Americans and of voters feel he has been too willing to work with ocrats. Among all Americans, 4 say he has not been willing enough to work across the aisle and say he has shown the right amount of willingness. Among voters, just say he has 1
Monmouth University Polling Institute 09/20/17 not been willing enough while 3-in-4 (7) say he has shown the right among of willingness to engage ocrats. Just 1 of Americans feel Donald has a good working relationship with ocratic leaders in gress, while 70% say he has a bad working relationship with them and describe the relationship as both good and bad. However, this is not much different than how the public sees the president s relationship with legislative leaders from his own party. Only of the public say that and gressional ublicans have a good working relationship, 5 say they have a bad working relationship and describe the relationship as both good and bad. Among those who say that and ublicans on Capitol Hill have a bad or mixed relationship, 2 say bears most of the responsibility for this, 2 say the gressional leadership is more responsible, and say both sides are equally to blame. Among voters who say the relationship is negative, though, 5 blame gressional ublicans for it, 3 say both sides are equally at fault, and just place most of the blame at s feet. The poll tested three different reasons about why might decide to work more closely with ocrats. The vast majority of Americans (6) including 7 of voters feel that the ublican leadership s inability to pass the president s agenda in gress is a reason why would reach across the aisle. A majority of the public (5) including an even higher percentage of voters (61%) say the same about such overtures simply being another way for to shake up Washington. On the other hand, fewer than half of all Americans (4) and just 31% of voters feel that the president reaching out to ocrats is a sign that he isn t as conservative as he claims. Most of the president s supporters reject the criticism that he is caving on core principles and they accept s assertion that he has to turn to ocrats if the GOP leadership keeps failing him, said Murray. Specifically on the issue of immigration, most Americans (6) say that recent discussions between and ocratic leaders on immigration reform do not necessarily indicate he is willing to soften his position on amnesty and other immigration policies. Just 2 feel these recent meetings suggest the president is willing to soften his position. Among voters, 5 are not convinced these meetings indicate a change of heart for while 3 say they indicate a willingness to moderate his views on immigration. Nearly two-thirds of Americans say that they would be satisfied 2 very and somewhat if the president decided to soften his stance on immigration, while just 3-in-10 would be dissatisfied 1 very and 1 somewhat. voters are more divided on this, but only about 1-in-5 would be very upset if became more moderate on immigration issues. Specifically, half of his supporters 2
Monmouth University Polling Institute 09/20/17 would actually be satisfied if softened his position very and 3 somewhat while just over 4-in-10 would be dissatisfied very and 2 somewhat. In fact, poll findings on immigration policy that Monmouth will release tomorrow suggest that only about one-fifth of s supporters take a consistently hard core stand against illegal immigration. Extended commentary from poll director Murray: It certainly would be a problem if did indeed lose a quarter of his current support, but I m not entirely convinced that a pivot on immigration would necessarily lead to this. Breathless commentary about how s base would surely make him pay if he departs from a presumed orthodoxy on this issue demonstrates a continued misunderstanding of s appeal., polls showed that immigration was a core policy priority for his supporters in the 2016 election. However, if you go back to his campaign kickoff two years ago, tested out a number of potential messages. The one that resonated the most was illegal immigration. It would be an oversimplification to presume that most of his base support came to him because he articulated the correct position on their pre-determined policy priority. Rather, realized from the reaction to that section of his rambling announcement speech that this issue was the most effective way to capture the underlying resentment felt by a key segment of the electorate. It was the best way to give a concrete example of how he was going to take on those who had robbed America from them. Of course, this rhetoric brought him the support of the Breitbart crowd and other pundits for whom illegal immigration is in fact a litmus test. For most of s supporters, though, the issue is more of a vessel for articulating their belief that will stick up for them against forces undermining their way of life. This means that has the ability to shift his supporters expectations on the appropriate course of action to tackle this issue. And he is being given an inadvertent assist by his own party s leadership in gress. Their ineffectiveness enables him to deflect voter anger to the Washington swamp while he pivots on key elements of immigration policy. DC dysfunction provides him the cover he needs to maintain his base supporters belief that he is taking on the enemy on their behalf. This is not to say that Breitbart and other leading anti-immigrant voices are without influence. However, the poll results suggest that if the so-called alt-right decided to wage a protracted war with the president on immigration policy, they could potentially find their rank and file abandoning them rather than. 3
Monmouth University Polling Institute 09/20/17 In other findings from the latest Monmouth University Poll, most Americans (5) continue to say they want to give more attention to issues that are important to their families while 3 say he is giving these issues enough attention now. Those who say the president has been giving America s bread and butter concerns enough attention has hovered between 3 and 40% since he took office. Among those who voted for in 2016, though, fully 7 feel he has in fact been paying enough attention to their family s top issues. Just over one-third of the public say the president has been successful very and 3 somewhat at getting gress to pass his agenda, while 6-in-10 say he has not been successful 2 not too and 3 not at all. voters are more likely to paint a rosy view of s legislative accomplishments, though, with 51% saying he has been at least somewhat successful compared to 4 who say he has not. Again, the underlying message of this poll suggests that the president s legislative record may wind up being more of a problem for gressional ublicans facing a primary challenge than it will be for, said Murray. The Monmouth University Poll was conducted by telephone from 15 to 19, with 1,009 adults in the United States. The results in this release have a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent.

This includes 505 contacted by a live interviewer on a landline telephone and 504 contacted by a live interviewer on a cell phone. Telephone numbers were selected through random digit dialing and landline respondents were selected with a modified Troldahl-Carter youngest adult household screen. Monmouth is responsible for all aspects of the survey design, data weighting and analysis. Final sample is weighted for region, age, education, gender and race based on US Census information. Data collection support provided by Braun Research (field) and SSI (RDD sample). For results based on this sample, one can say with 9 confidence that the error attributable to sampling has a maximum margin of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points (unadjusted for sample design). Sampling error can be larger for subgroups (see table below). In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.
