"...More than half of independents (55%), for example, back Trump's temporary suspension of refugees coming into the country. Just 17% of Democrats do.
Almost three quarters of Democrats approved the Obama administration's abstention on the UN vote attacking Israeli settlements. Only 40% of independents did.
Three quarters of Democrats think Russia influenced the election outcome. Only 39% of independents do.
Seventy percent of Democrats say Obama's presidency was a success, a sentiment shared by only 40% of independents.
Nearly half of independents want Congress to repeal ObamaCare, compared with only 6% of Democrats. In fact, most Democrats want to expand ObamaCare, a view shared by just a third of independents.
The poll also finds Democrats uniquely apoplectic about the election outcome, with a deep and troubling loathing of Trump.
For example, 76% of Democrats say Trump's overall performance so far has been poor, compared with 39% of independents.
Democrats are alone in opposing Trump's executive orders, according to recent Morning Consult polls — 55% oppose his regulatory freeze, 61% his hiring freeze, 58% his order to get the Dakota Access pipeline built, etc. At the very least, a plurality of independents back these measures.
Just 18% of Democrats now think the country is headed in the right direction after the election, while half of independents do. Just over a third of Democrats (35%) say the economy is improving, compared with 59% of independents...."
