The purpose of the study was to generate a snapshot of how President Trump is doing based on the responses of 1754 participants who completed eight survey questions regarding President Trump on the 101 item National Pew September 2018 Political Survey administered by telephone. Results indicated that the survey participants viewed Donald Trump as significantly (statistically) not trustworthy, not a strong leader, someone who doesn’t care about people like me, not even tempered, and not well informed. However, survey participants did view Donald Trump as significantly able to get things done, keep his promises, and stand up for what he believes in. Significantly (statistically) more males than females viewed Donald Trump as able to get things done, well informed, someone who keeps his promises, and someone who stands up for what he believes in. Republican survey participants had a statistically significant more favorable impression of Donald Trump on all eight of the survey questions than Democratic or Independent survey participants.
