Americans disapprove of Trump's White House ballroom project -- and East Wing demolition -- by a more than 2-to-1 margin [View all]

Over the last week, President Trump has completely demolished the old East Wing of the White House in order to make way for his new 90,000-square-foot ballroom — and only about a quarter of Americans approve, according to a new Yahoo/YouGov poll.

More than twice as many disapprove.

The survey of 1,770 U.S. adults was conducted from Oct. 23 to 27 — the days immediately after the entire 123-year-old structure had been reduced to rubble. On question after question, respondents split into two clear, consistent groups: a majority who disapprove of every aspect of Trump’s ballroom project, and a much smaller minority — usually half as big — who approve.

61% of Americans disapprove of "the plan” itself: adding “a 90,000 square foot ballroom to the White House complex in order to accommodate people for grand parties, state visits and other large events." Just 25% approve.
