Gallup: Few Major U.S. Political Figures Rated Positively on Balance

Body

“Secretary of State Marco Rubio, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Secretary of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F.

However, at least one in four U.S. adults are not familiar enough with Rubio and Jeffries to rate them.” - Gallup

Has President Trump done as well as you expected he would?

It is easy to begin with comments “It depends” or “Yes and no.” A poll, by nature, addresses a broad summary, not so much nuances or exceptions.

I have felt overwhelmed with all the news about the many changes our current president has made in such a short time. Many of them thrill me, others I have questions about. But I don’t think I have ever seen so much creativity from Washington. Even solutions that might not work (like making Gaza into a Riviera) are out of the box.

What is your general impression?
