Sixty percent of Americans voiced disapproval to the move Trump made last month, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. The survey found that 53 percent of Americans strongly disapproved of using a national emergency to divert military funds for construction of a border while seven percent said they "somewhat" disapprove.

Meanwhile 39 percent of Americans said they did support a national emergency to fund a border wall. Just 1 percent of Americans are unsure.

The poll comes weeks after Trump declared a national emergency to allocate unappropriated funding to building a border wall. Trump made the announcement as he agreed to sign a Congressional spending bill without the $5.7 billion in funds he wanted for a steel barrier along the border.

The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll also found that just 37 percent Americans believe Trump has been honest when it comes to the Russia investigation. Fifty-eight percent believe he hasn't been truthful about the probe.

In addition, 48-percent of respondents said that special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian election interference has given them increasing doubts about Trump. Forty-seven percent said it has given them no more doubts.
