After sorting poll respondents into two categories — the 36 percent of Americans who approve of President Trump and the 58 percent who don't — the Washington Post/ABC News poll released Sunday asked them to get specific: What is it you most like (for the approvers) or dislike (for the disapprovers) about the Trump presidency?
The 58 percent who disapprove apparently had trouble choosing. In first place with 13 percent is "everything," which is matched only by the "way he talks/acts," an answer almost as all-encompassing.
