As with most things Trump, the public isn’t high on how he’s working toward a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un but they back the negotiations by a whopping 7-1.
The latest YouGov/Economist poll finds that 67 percent believe that the summit, still scheduled for mid-June, will occur.
“Two-in-three Americans interviewed in the last few days believe a summit between the two leaders remains likely, and by seven to one, the public supports those negotiations,” said the survey analysis.
The summit to discuss the denuclearization of North Korea was set to happen until last week when President Trump changed his mind amid some tough talk from the communist nation. Since then, Kim has been working to get things back on track and both sides are back to talking up the chances for a face-to-face meeting.
Most polled do not expect the outcome to produce all the U.S. wants, but that rarely happens in any negotiation.
In addition, Trump’s handling of the talks has taken a hit since he flipped on the summit. “Two weeks ago, more approved than disapproved. Last week, opinion was evenly divided. This week, slightly more disapprove,” said the survey analysis.
