(Before It's News)

In a new NBC News/WSJ poll, a considerable percentage of Americans polled are concerned with Donald Trump’s inexperience in government, as it relates to his ability to handle the job of POTUS.

From NBCNews.com:

Asked in the new survey about Trump’s experience, only five percent of registered voters said they were enthusiastic about his unconventional professional history, while another 15 percent said they were comfortable with it.

But a combined 61 percent say they have reservations (19 percent) or are outright uncomfortable (42 percent) with Trump’s lack of experience in the kinds of positions traditionally held by American commanders-in-chief.

Less are concerned about the possibility of an actual Socialist, Bernie Sanders, becoming president, by about ten percent.

Also from NBCNews.com:

Those who expressed concern about Trump’s lack of military or government experience included 68 percent of women, 60 percent of independents, 78 percent of undecided voters and about a third of Republican primary voters.

Things don’t look much better when Trump is compared, head-to-head, with Hillary Clinton.

While he bested Clinton  in vague areas like, changing business as usual in Washington (55% to 22%), standing up for America (46% to 32%), and dealing with Wall Street (48% to 27%), he fell behind in areas like dealing with immigration (42% to 45%), making appointments to SCOTUS (34% to 47%), and dealing with issues of concern to women (16% to 63%).

Considering the importance of the female voting bloc, his high unfavorable rating with women could very likely come back to haunt him in the general.

  • And pray-tell…how scientific was this supposed poll? I will assume, however unlikely, that they did not poll voters in specific areas where Trump does not score well to start with…right? Polls are a joke. Easiest thing in the world to manipulate. Come poll Hillary in Louisiana and see how well she scores. Poll Bernie in New York State. Ditto. Poll Trump in…well…not many places you can poll him where he doesn’t score well, now is there? So to get a negative result, they musta’ dug pretty deep.

  • NBC News/WSJ polls?? yeah lets take the word from proven, congenital pathological lying rags who are controlled by those with an obvious agenda!
