US: US Voters Sceptical Of Trump's Ability To Address Economic Issues

A new surveyfrom the Associated Press/NORC has found that, “most adults are skeptical that Trump can address costs and other economic issues.” The survey is the latest in a string of surveys to suggest that voters are managing expectations that Trump can deliver on an ambitious platform of campaign promises. 

• AP: “Few adults express strong confidence in Trump’s ability to handle key issues as president. About a third are highly confident in his ability to handle immigration, national security, and the economy and jobs. Confidence declines when it comes to lowering costs and handling health care. Another 1 in 5 are moderately confident in his ability to tackle most issues.
• “Roughly half the public has moderate to high confidence in Trump’s ability to handle immigration, national security, and the economy and jobs. A majority are skeptical about his ability to lower costs and manage health care.”
