BREAKING: Americans Reject Trump’s White House Ballroom Plan by 2-to-1 Margin — Poll

WASHINGTON — U.S. voters oppose President Trump’s proposed White House ballroom by a 2-to-1 margin, according to a new Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll released Friday.

The survey found widespread public resistance to the planned luxury add-on to the executive mansion, with opposition dwarfing support across party lines.

Enthusiasm gap: Nearly three times as many Americans say they “strongly” oppose the project as those who “strongly” support it — a stark indicator of voter intensity on the issue.

The poll comes as the White House has yet to release official cost estimates for the ballroom, which critics have labeled an unnecessary expense.
