"A review of Americans' ratings of President Donald Trump across a series of personal dimensions shows that at least half consider him intelligent, strong and decisive, and able to bring about change," a press release summarizing the report stated.

"However, much smaller proportions deem him honest, likable or admirable, or say he has appointed good advisers or works well with both parties."
