Sixty-two percent have an unfavorable view of Trump, and roughly the same percentage say he makes them angry because of the kind of person he is or something he has done.
Thirty percent have a favorable view of him. Slightly more, 34 percent, say he makes them feel hopeful.
The poll was conducted in the first week of April and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
