Asked for the first word that comes to mind when thinking of President Trump, Americans' standout answer in a recent poll was "idiot."
"Incompetent" and "liar" followed, with "leader," "unqualified," and then, his actual job title — "president."
The answers came in the most recent Quinnipiac University poll, an independent survey of 1,078 voters nationwide that was released Wednesday. Live interviews were conducted between May 4 and 9, and the poll has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
The poll found Trump's approval rating to be at its almost lowest level ever, with just 36% of people supporting how he was handling the presidency. Most people — 61% — said he was dishonest, and 56% said he was a bad leader. As for his temperament, 66% agreed he was not level headed. Meanwhile, 56% believed he was intelligent, and 62% said he was strong.
