Stop Tweeting, American Voters Tell Trump, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Voters Are Optimistic About Four Years Of Trump

President-elect Donald Trump should shut down his personal Twitter account, American voters say 59 - 35 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.

While they have mixed views on his personal qualities, American voters say 59 - 37 percent that they are "optimistic about the next four years with Donald Trump as president," the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.

Trump will be a "great" president, 17 percent of voters say; 32 percent say he will be a "good" president; 17 percent say he will be "not so good" and 26 percent say he will be "bad."

Trump's policies will help the nation's economy, 52 percent of voters say; 31 percent say his policies will hurt the economy and 11 percent say they will make no difference.

His policies will help their personal financial situation, 40 percent of voters say, while 23 percent say they will hurt and 34 percent say his policies will make no difference.

Looking at Trump's personal qualities, American voters say:

52 - 42 percent that he is not honest;
56 - 38 percent that he has good leadership skills;
51 - 45 percent that he cares about average Americans;
57 - 38 percent that he is not level-headed;
74 - 23 percent that he is a strong person;
74 - 21 percent that he is intelligent.

"Voters tell President-elect Donald Trump, 'You've got the job. Now be a leader not a tweeter,'" said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

"And we're watching to make sure you put the country, not the Trump brand, first."

Obama was at 68% approval when getting elected, if one wants a comparison.

His numbers will only go down from here.

because every one can see you flip flop, be obsessed with trivial matters, make silly attempts at spin, and so forth.

Yes, you control the monologue there Donnie. There is no unfair press there so we can see your true colors. It is very enlightening.

As President of the United States there is almost no limit to the good he can do for the US and the World.

And it's not all that complicated. Follow the Golden Rule.

Yes, he'd have to fight the republicans. But mostly he seems to have to fight his own devils.

I haven't seen any policies, only juvenile tweets. I think Quinnipac should have waited to ask people what they think until they know why they think that.
