A survey of British adults on attitudes towards Donald Trump’s visit to the UK, July 2018.

• The public’s view of Theresa May reflects concern that Donald Trump is acting in the interests of the USA, with a majority – 53% – who disagree that ‘Donald Trump is a good ally to the UK and has our best interests at heart’.
