A majority of registered voters view President Trump’s meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a success, a new poll says.
According to a new Morning Consult/Politico poll, 54 percent of registered voters said the summit was successful. Meanwhile, 24 percent claimed it was unsuccessful.
Among party lines, 79 percent of Republicans viewed the summit successfully, compared to 48 percent of independents and 38 percent of Democrats.
The survey comes after a Tuesday summit between the U.S. and North Korea, where the heads of state signed a joint statement agreeing to pursue a “stable peace” on the peninsula.
At a press conference after Kim had left Singapore, Trump said North Korea agreed to give up its nuclear arms. Trump also claimed he was confident that the rogue regime would pursue complete denuclearization and that the process would be underway in the near future.
However, the survey revealed a majority voters doubt that North Korea will denuclearize. 55 percent of respondents said it’s unlikely North Korea will completely denuclearize.
The poll included a sample of 1,993 registered voters and was conducted from June 12-14 with online interviews. The survey’s margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage points.
