President Trump may call Washington, D.C., home, but his neighbors are none too pleased about it. Since January, 1 in every 3 people living in the U.S. capital has protested against Trump or his policies, a Washington Post poll has found.

High-income Washingtonians and white Washingtonians are among the most common protesters; while 53 percent of white residents have demonstrated against Trump, only 16 percent of African Americans have. Most Washingtonians, 54 percent, still say Trump has changed the city "some" or "a lot."
