Poll - 69% say Trump tweets too much. Majority says it hurts our national security

Voters have a clear message for President Donald Trump: Stop tweeting.

A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows the vast majority of voters, 69 percent, say Trump uses Twitter too much. Fifty-nine percent say the president’s use of Twitter is a bad thing, and even a majority of voters say Trump’s tweets hurt U.S. national security.

Even Trump’s own base wants him to curb his Twitter use. A 53 percent majority of GOP voters say Trump tweets too much — though slightly more Republicans say Trump’s use of Twitter overall is a good thing (41 percent) than a bad thing (37 percent).

The poll was conducted from June 1 to 2 among 1,999 registered voters. The margin of error is 2 percentage points.
