Public Split on Whether Trump Has Undercut Constitution

A new Monmouth poll finds 45% of the American public believes President Trump has done more to undermine the U.S. Constitution compared to past presidents.

However, a very sizable 37% actually believes Trump has done more than his predecessors to protect the Constitution and another 15% believe he has been no different than other presidents when it comes to upholding the Constitution.

Said pollster Patrick Murray: “This may be the most alarming finding in the poll. No one who truly appreciates our country’s founding document can see the last four years as a high-water mark for upholding Constitutional norms. This speaks to the success of Trump and his allies in completely reframing the terms of political engagement.”
