What Americans think about Trump’s handling of crime, according to a new poll
A new poll shows handling crime is now a relative strength for President Donald Trump. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are generally not happy about the Republican president’s handling of issues like immigration and the economy but are more positive about his tough-on-crime approach. The vast majority of Americans see crime as a “major problem” in large cities. It's a concern Trump has seized on as he has deployed the National Guard to Washington and threatened to expand that model to other cities. Despite that perception, data shows violent crime in Washington is at a 30-year low.
