Poll: Trump receives massive approval rating from his 2016 election voters

A recent poll conducted by the University of Virginia Center for Politics shows that 93% of those who voted for President Donald Trump approve of the job he is doing.

Further, when asked which animal they associate with the president, "'Lion' was cited by Trump voters far more than any other animal," according to a university press release.

In addition to the animal question, the poll is unique in that it explores the grayer areas within what approval means. When asked to identify the strength of their convictions, 42% described their approval as "strong" while 51% placed theirs in the "somewhat" category.

The release notes that "men were more likely to be strong approvers than women (44 percent of men were strong approvers vs. 39 percent of women); respondents over 65 were the only age group where strong approvers outnumbered somewhat approvers (48 percent-46 percent)."

One thing they all appeared to agree upon was their dislike of Hillary Clinton. 92% of respondents said their view of her was "unfavorable."

The poll involved 1,000 Trump voters and was conducted between April 17 and 19. The center also held 8 focus groups with participants of various political leanings.
