This is the first poll I’ve seen on the public’s reaction to the Orlando terror attack.
Gauging Americans' views on Orlando mass shooting.
A few notes from the article.
Most Americans (57 percent) describe the shooting over the weekend at a nightclub in Orlando as both an act of terrorism and a hate crime against gays and lesbians. 14 percent think it was mostly a terror act, while 25 percent think it was mostly a hate crime.
President Obama gets a net positive rating for his handling of the incident.
President Obama gets net positive ratings for his response to the shooting in Orlando. 44 percent approve, while 34 percent disapprove. About a quarter don't have an opinion.
And what is Americans initial reaction to the nominees’ responses?
When asked to assess the responses of the presumptive nominees for President, Americans are divided on Hillary Clinton's response to the attack, while ratings of Trump are more negative. 51 percent of Americans disapprove of the way Trump is responding to the Orlando attack, while just 25 percent approve.
Apparently a majority of Americans aren’t fooled by Donald Trump.
