WASHINGTON, July 16 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump denounced a new poll Sunday that indicates he has a lower approval rating than any of his predecessors at the six-month mark in 70 years.


The ABC NewsWashington Post poll, released earlier Sunday, showed only 36 percent of Americans approve Trump's performance in office Boutique Chaussures Nike Air Presto Grise Blanche , marking a six-point drop from 42 percent in April, while his disapproval rating has risen five points since then to 58 percent.


"The ABCWashington Post Poll, even though almost 40 percent is not bad at his time, was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time!" Trump tweeted to defend himself.


The poll said Trump's job approval is the lowest rating of any of his predecessors after their first six months into U.S. presidency.


Besides, it also showed that 48 percent of the respondents see the U.S. leadership in the world as weaker since Trump's inauguration, with only 27 percent believing it to be stronger. Two thirds said they do not trust Trump to negotiate with other world leaders on the U.S. behalf.


Just 38 percent of those polled said they think Trump is making significant progress toward his goals Chaussures Nike Air Presto Qs Blanche Soldes , while 55 percent think otherwise.


The poll results also came in light of a stalled Republican agenda and unfolding stories about alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.


Half of those surveyed said they prefer the existing health care system, with only 24 percent favoring a Republican-led legislation, a controversial reform that has been put on hold in Senate due to opposition from within.


The U.S. intelligence community alleged that Russia meddled in the U.S. presidential race last year and connections existed between the Russian government and the Trump campaign, which the Kremlin has denied.


The ABC-Post poll finds about 60 percent of Americans said they believe Russia tried to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, while about 44 percent think Trump benefited from those attempts.


Besides, roughly 4 in 10 Americans said they see Trump's campaign team intentionally helped Russian efforts to influence the election.


When asked about a 2016 meeting Donald Trump Jr. Chaussures Homme Nike Air Presto Noir Pas Cher , the eldest son of Trump, had with a Russian lawyer in a hope to get hands on materials allegedly helpful for his father's campaign, 63 percent considered the meeting as inappropriate.


The poll was conducted between from July 10 to July 13 among a random sample of over 1,000 adults being surveyed over the phone, with a margin error of 3.5 points.




BEIJING, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- China's campaign against extravagance and undesirable work styles among officials has seen about 262 Chaussures Vans Nintendo Slip on Pure Blanche Soldes ,600 officials punished in the past five years, the discipline inspection agency said Monday.


As of October, discipline inspection agencies nationwide had investigated about 193,200 cases involving violation of the Party frugality code issued on Dec. 4, 2012, according to a Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) statement.


Twenty-nine of the cases involved senior officials Chaussures Vans Classic Slip on Blanche Pas Cher , the statement said.


The campaign targets the practice of spending public funds on gifts, banquets and holidays. The number of such cases has reduced annually, the CCDI said.

Officials were also investigated for hosting extravagant wedding ceremonies and funerals Chaussures Vans SK8 Hi Reissue Blanche Soldes , and frequenting high-end night clubs.


Many leading officials were held accountable for failing to discipline their subordinates. From 2015 to August 2017, more than 18,240 officials were punished for such oversight.


The campaign benefited from the participation of citizens who supervised officials and sent tip-offs of misconduct through websites, mobile apps and WeChat accounts set up by discipline inspection agencies.


However, the agency said that the campaign still faced difficulties.


A number of officials are repeat offenders, while others have just more cunningly disguised their misconduct Homme Vans Sk8 Hi Reissue Pas Cher Chaussures Marine Rouge , the statement said. The practice of "formalism" and "bureaucratism" remain among the most severe.


The implementation of the code is vital for "whether or not the Party will alienate itself from the masses, govern the country for long and well fulfill its mission," the statement said.
