The ABC/Washington Post poll surveyed 1,004 adults over April 17-20 and had a margin of error ±3.5% points. This is the same rate that Trump pursued during his 2016 campaign, but officials had not signaled since the election whether he would stick to the pledge.
The bad and the good ... "There are regular, nearly daily conversations with the goal of trying to get the House, Senate and the White House on the same page", Toomey said.
Democrats, on the other hand, say tax reform won't move forward without the president first making his tax returns public - to make clear how he might benefit from the proposed legislation. Trump's predecessors' early achievements were fleeting.
Forty-two percent of people in an ABC/Washington Post poll said they approved of Trump's performance so far, while 53% said they disapproved.
On the upside, the commander-in-chief's bold stance against potential threats to the United States is appreciated by most.

In an interview on "Fox News Sunday", White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said Trump will likely be outlining the administration's "principles" and "ideas" on tax reform.
When looking at Trump's follow-through with what he proclaimed on the campaign trail, Americans have mixed reactions.
Another order Trump will sign Friday is expected to direct the Interior Department to start the process of reversing a December 20 decision by Obama to permanently block new oil and gas development in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas, covering about 115 million acres of Arctic waters, and about 3.8 million acres off the US East Coast, from MA to Maryland.
