U.S. voters are asked to describe Trump in one word, and the results aren’t pretty

At the time of writing, Donald Trump has been President for 114 days, 22 hours, 50 minutes and 41 seconds.

We know this because there is an actual website which counts the days, hours, minutes and seconds that he has held the position, in case you needed constant reminding.

Earlier this week, CNN broadcast the results of a Quinnipac University Poll (the full results of which can be found here), which asked registered voters across America a number of questions about their current leader.

One of the questions asked the voters to describe Trump using just one word, and the results … well, you can see for yourself:

“President” was only the 6th most popular used word to describe the President, and while almost a quarter answered in a positive light, the majority of the vote did go to some unflattering descriptions.

Other questions included whether or not they approved of his Presidential style, and whether they support his new health care and tax plans.

And all of these questions were answered in the days before he fired the head of the FBI.

You can check out the full response to those questions in the clip below:
