Business Leaders Split on Trump’s Job Performance and Executive Orders

Analysis--Zogby Analytics conducted an online nationwide survey of 301 business decision makers with 100 or more employees on 2/2/2017. Based on a confidence interval of 95%, the margin of error for 301 is +/- 5.7 percentage points. Overall, a plurality (48%) of business leaders disapprove (strongly and somewhat combined) of Donald Trump’s job as president so far, while slightly less (44%) approve. At the moment only a third think the country is on the right track and 45% think it’s going in the wrong direction.

Business leaders were more optimistic when it came to the economy over the next four years; 48% thought things would go well (excellent and good combined), while almost as many business leaders thought things would not bode well for the US economy (fair and poor combined). When it came to the recent immigration executive orders, business leaders were also split on Trump imposing a 90-day ban on refugees from seven Muslim-majority nations (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen) entering the U.S—48% agreed with the order (strongly and somewhat combined) while 47% disagreed.
