Poll: Just one-third approve of Trump's handling of Florida shooting

Source: The Hill

Just one-third of Americans approve of the way President Trump has handled last week’s deadly shooting at a Florida high school, according to a new poll.

The CBS News poll released Friday finds just 33 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. Fifty percent of those surveyed disapprove of the way Trump has handled the shooting, and 17 percent said they didn’t know or had no answer.

The poll finds a strong partisan divide on Trump’s handling of the shooting. Sixty-nine percent of Republicans approve of the way Trump has handled the shooting, while just seven percent of Democrats approve. Among independents, 32 percent approve of Trump’s handling of the attack.

That's what I take from this poll. In that, it matches the recent Quinnipiac poll which shows a majority want Democrats controlling the House and Senate.

People want progress, not regression.
