Frank Luntz reveals unprecedented findings on how voters view President Trump

From Fox News, by Reporter David Montanaro, 4 November 2019.

Here is the lede plus one:

Author and pollster Frank Luntz said Monday that President Trump's rhetoric is having an effect on voters that he has never observed before.

Speaking on Fox News Radio's "Brian Kilmeade Show," Luntz said new focus group research from the past 10 days shows a majority of voters approve of what Trump is doing as president but disapprove of what he says.

"A majority of the public like what Donald Trump is doing and a majority of the public don't like what he's saying.  This is the first time that I can remember.  Usually, it's the opposite direction," he explained, noting that past presidents were generally liked by the public, but their policies turned off voters.

Then Mr Luntz went on to say:

"Trump is hurting himself" with his language and his messaging, Luntz said, advising the White House to focus on economic growth, rising wages and low unemployment in order to improve the president's poll numbers.

Somewhere in my younger years I was taught to not identify anyone just by their last name.  To do so is impolite.  One should add a title, such as "President".

I do think there is something to what Mr Luntz says.  The President does bother some people with his messaging.  However, I am not sure the President is going to change much in the future.  I suspect the responses he gets from the rallies he goes to encourage him.
