A majority of voters think President Trump is keeping his campaign promises, while also believing that Washington elites are to blame for the delays in getting his policies enacted, according to a new poll released Thursday.

The George Washington University battleground poll found that 51 percent of voters agreed with the statement “Donald Trump had been keeping his campaign promises” with 44 percent disagreeing.

But when asked about the reasons for the delay in getting some of his promises enacted, 52 percent of respondents agreed that “Washington elites are to blame for the delay in passing some of these reforms.”

The poll comes at a time when Trump has been increasingly locking horns with top Republican leaders over priorities in Congress. Trump said at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona Tuesday that he was prepared to shut down the government if Congress would not fund a wall at the southern border.

On Thursday Trump attacked both Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) over their approach to raising the debt ceiling, saying that they had not followed his advice and as a result are at the mercy of Democrats.

“They didn’t do it so now we have a big deal with Dems holding them up (as usual) on Debt Ceiling approval,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Could have been so easy-now a mess!”

While the number of voters who viewed Trump favorably sat at a low 41 percent, Ryan’s number was 36 percent and McConnell’s was a mere 19 percent favorability.

Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was viewed favorably by 34 percent of voters, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was viewed favorably by 27 percent — although 29 percent of those surveyed said they had never heard of him.

Breitbart and Fox News are doing what they can. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to blow a little sunshine up Dear Leaders backside.

Replace Breitbart and Fox News with everything else and you have the prior 8 years. How cool is that?

  You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but none of that matters with Trump supporters. If they think this guy is even trying to keep his promises, they've already fooled themselves.

One tidbit that I find refreshing is that 29% of those polled have never even heard of crying chuck shimmer. As much as the mainstream media has been putting this snowflake on tv....shedding his fake tears....almost 1/3 of those polled aren't even watching the news. 

 

So so we could say CNN is not the enemy of 29% of the people.

Ok...as a proud member of the MOR I have to pitch in here, and say that imo, Trump has not been keeping most of his promises. Nothing against or in favor the right, nothing against or in favor of the left, just how I see it.

The president can only get so much done within the confines of their constitutional authority without the Congress doing their job.

The Congress controlled by his party. Evidently they have no faith in him.
