A majority of American voters say Donald Trump is not "fit to serve as president," according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, with 51 percent of respondents saying they are embarrassed to have Trump serve as president.

The poll reports that 59 percent say Trump is not honest, 60 percent say he does not have good leadership skills and 61 percent say he does not share their values.

Notably, voters say — 69 percent to 26 percent — that Trump should stop tweeting.

The survey highlighted deep divisions along racial lines. Fifty percent of white voters say Trump is fit to serve, while 94 percent of black voters say he is not fit for the role; Hispanic voters are split 60 percent to 40 percent. Overall, 62 percent of voters disapprove of the way the president has handled race relations. Sixty percent of voters say Trump is doing more to divide the country than unite it.

The poll also revealed divisions among men and women. Men are divided 49 percent to 49 percent, while 63 percent of women say Trump is not fit.

More Democrats than Republicans disapprove of Trump’s fitness for office. Ninety-four percent of Democrats say Trump is not fit to be president, while 84 percent of Republicans responded that he is fit for the job. Independent voters are split, with 57 saying he is fit and 40 percent saying he isn’t.

Forty-nine percent of voters in the poll are in favor of Democrats winning control of the Senate in 2018.

The poll was conducted Sept. 21-26 by phone, among 1,412 voters nationwide.

Donald Trump is Back to Being the Least Popular President Ever After NFL Tweets

By Chris Riotta On 9/27/17

President Donald Trump's popularity among American voters is once again in decline, falling back to the historic lows that have marked the first eight months of his White House tenure.

The president’s approval rating hovers at 38.8 percent, according to a weighted average the polling site FiveThirtyEight released Wednesday morning. That total reflects a dip among several daily tracking polls, including from CBS News (35 percent), Gallup (39 percent), and Trump's favorite (and more favorable) right wing polling site, Rasmussen Reports (43 percent).

"The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for our Country, Flag and National Anthem. NFL must respect this!" the president tweeted Monday. "The NFL has all sorts of rules and regulations. The only way out for them is to set a rule that you can't kneel during our National Anthem!"

Trump enjoyed a bounce in his approval ratings after multiple hurricanes battered the United States, from Harvey in Texas, to Irma in Florida, and Maria in Puerto Rico. The slight uptick appears to have subsided, however, after the NFL spat.

Even if the president managed to continue his streak of increasing popularity for more than just a few days after the hurricanes, it likely wouldn't have been enough to change an unfortunate reality of his time in office: He remains the least popular president in modern American history, dating as far back as President Harry Truman in the 1940s. In fact, the only other president to suffer such lows this early on in his administration was President Gerald Ford, who plunged to a 41 percent approval rating after pardoning his predecessor, Richard Nixon.

Throughout history, the majority of U.S. presidents have often enjoyed honeymoon periods during which their popularity is high for their first months in office before eventually tapering off. The same has not been true for Trump, who has seen increasing disapproval of his presidency even while managing to hold onto a majority of his conservative base.
