A majority of Americans have no confidence in President-elect Donald Trump’s ability to fulfill his promise to repeal and replace Obamacare, according to a new poll.
The Associated Press/NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey of 1,000 adults found that only 28% of respondents had confidence in Trump to do the job as president, with 44% saying they were not sure or had no confidence.
Just 7% had confidence.
In comparison, 62% of Americans said they were confident in Vice President Mike Pence’s ability as president to deliver on his promise of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act.
Only 19% said they had confidence that he would deliver.
While there was a slight increase in confidence in the president-elect’s ability during his first 100 days in office, that percentage was still below the average of 52% in the two previous years the poll has tracked.
The poll was conducted online and was conducted by telephone March 16-18 among a random sample of 1 in 5 adults nationwide.
It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
