Most Americans Say Trump Not Fit to Be President
https://politicalwire.com/2018/01/10/americans-says-trump-not-fit-president/"SNIP.........
A new Quinnipiac poll finds that American voters say President Trump is intelligent by a 53% to 44% margin, but they also say 69% to 28% that he is not level-headed and by 57% to 40% that he is not fit to serve as president.
Grading President Trump’s first year in office, 39% of voters give him an “F,” while 17% give him a “D.”
Trump’s job approval is a dismal 36% to 59%.

This polling amuses me https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/01/10/trump-says-hes-a-stable-genius-only-a-quarter-of-americans-agree/?utm_term=.938b8b8676db
According to a new poll from Quinnipiac University, only 27 percent of Americans agree with that description.
Quinnipiac asked — as it has since Trump was inaugurated — two questions that overlap with Trump’s self-assessment. The first is whether poll respondents think Trump is intelligent. The second is whether they think he’s levelheaded.
A majority of Americans do think that Trump is intelligent. Over the past year, the percentage of those saying so has fallen 12 points, but 53 percent of Americans think Trump is smart.

Granted, “intelligent” and “genius” aren’t the same thing. But since no polls have asked whether people think Trump is a genius (we checked), this is as close as we’ll get.
