North Korea
Most Americans continue to see North Korea as a threat that can be contained, though the number who say it requires military action has risen slightly in recent weeks. A majority disapprove of President Trump's handling of the situation, and more voice concern that the U.S. would go to war too quickly than too slowly. Republicans approve of the president's handling, and worry the U.S. will not act fast enough.

A clear partisan division underlies the differing concerns about North Korea.

The president's job performance
President Trump's approval rating on the response to recent hurricanes is positive, but it's the only positive measure of those tested. His rating for handling health care is the lowest this poll tested -- at just 29 percent. Immigration meets just 35 percent approval. His overall approval rating, also now at 35 percent, is one point lower than August, and the lowest it has reached in this poll so far. Mr. Trump's overall job rating has been similarly negative since June. Those who disapprove of the president overall are overwhelmingly likely to also disapprove of his handling health care, while they are relatively more approving of his handling the economy and hurricanes.
More broadly, a majority of Americans now think Mr. Trump is making the U.S. image in the world weaker rather than stronger. Fifty-two percent think so, up from 46 percent in April.

(9,426 posts)"handling" anything, except his twitter account. The "man" is too dense to understand most of the policies he is supposed to be dealing with. Someone should get him out of the WH before he destroys the world with his ignorance. Taunting the leader of N. Korea is STUPID beyond words. I suggest that the two madmen put on Sumo wrestling outfits, and wrestle in public to see who is the toughest. My money would be on the little guy from N. Korea. Don the Con would not allow his hair to be messed up. He talks tough, but he is a coward.
