MILWAUKEE — Not surprisingly, President Donald Trump's popularity falls heavily down party lines with 41 percent of Wisconsin voters approving of the job he's doing, accord- ing to a Marquette Law School poll. Those disapprov- ing of Trump's work are 47 percent of the 800 registered voters sur- veyed. Meanwhile, 11 per- cent said they don't know how he's doing, according to the results released Wednesday. Republicans and Democrats were fairly cer- tain of giving a thumbs-up or thumbs-down in the first Marquette poll of 2017. Among Republicans, 86 percent approve, 7 percent disapprove and 6 percent lack an opinion. Among Democrats, 5 percent approve, 89 percent disap- prove and 6 percent are with- out an opinion. Independents were less sure of the president's job so far. Thirty-eight percent of them approved, 44 percent disapproved and 16 percent have not formed an opinion. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percent. Where Trump's support and disapproval came from was clear. The city of Milwaukee shows the lowest approval, 19 percent, with 63 percent disapproval. Trump received his strongest support in the Milwaukee media market, excluding the city of Milwaukee, with 48 percent approval and 42 percent dis- approval. While the poll is the first measure of approval, or dis- approval, Trump's favorabil- ity has improved. In the new poll, conducted from March 13 to 16, 42 per- cent view him favorably and 48 percent unfavorably. That compares to 33 percent favor- able and 62 percent unfavor- able ratings in the Marquette Law School Poll conducted Oct. 26-31. Favor- ability increased sharply among Republicans, 67 percent of whom had a favorable impression of Trump in October compared to 90 percent in the cur- rent poll. In October, 27 per- cent of Republicans had an unfavorable view, with 7 percent doing so now. He also gained among independents, 33 percent had a favorable view and 60 per- cent an unfavorable one in October, compared with 39 percent with a favorable view and 45 percent with an unfavorable view in the March survey. Democratic opinion has not really shift- ed, with 4 percent favorable and 94 percent unfavorable in October and 5 percent favorable and 91 percent unfavorable now. Russian effort to influence 2016 election In the poll, taken before public congressional hear- ings on March 20, voters split evenly on whether they were concerned that the Russian government may have attempted to influence the 2016 election. Thirty percent say they are very concerned about this, 20 percent are somewhat concerned, 18 per- cent are not too concerned and 30 percent are not at all concerned. Partisan divi- sions are sharp on this ques- tion, with 83 percent of Republicans not at all or not too concerned while 85 per- cent of Democrats are very or somewhat concerned. Forty-seven percent of inde- pendents are very or some- what concerned while 50 per- cent of independents are not at all or not too concerned about the issue. Health care law Asked what they would like to see Congress do about the 2010 health care reform law, 6 percent favor keeping the law as it is, 54 percent would keep and improve it, 28 percent favor repealing and replacing the law and 8 percent would repeal and not replace the law. Sixty-one percent of Republicans favor repeal and replace, with 13 percent favoring repeal and not replace. Twenty-four percent of Republicans would keep the law but improve it and less than a half-percent would keep the law as it is. Sixty percent of independ- ents would keep the law and improve it, with 4 percent saying they would keep it as it is. Twenty-three percent of independents would repeal and replace the law, and 9 percent would repeal it and not replace it. Seventy-five percent of Democrats would keep and improve the law, and 15 percent would keep it as it is, while 4 percent would repeal and replace it and 3 percent would simply repeal it. State issues Voters are evenly divided on the direction of the state, with 49 percent saying Wisconsin is headed in the right direction and 47 per- cent saying it is off on the wrong track. When last asked in August 2016, 45 per- cent said right direction and 51 percent said the wrong track. The state's two U.S. sena- tors polled about the same. Sen. Ron Johnson, R- Oshkosh, is viewed favorably by 39 percent of respondents with 34 percent holding an unfavorable view of him. Twenty-six percent say they didn't know enough to have an opinion or they didn't know. In October, 41 percent had a favorable view, 38 per- cent were unfavorable and 21 percent lacked an opinion. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D- Madison, is viewed favorably by 40 percent and unfavor- ably by 35 percent, with 24 percent lacking an opinion. In October, Baldwin was seen favorably by 37 percent and unfavorably by 37 per- cent, with 26 percent not giv- ing an opinion. Marquette poll:Trump approval falls along party lines Trump
