Inaugural celebration? Donald Trump is today being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, to begin his second four-year term.
But for the many enthusiastic Trump supporters in America, most Britons (53%) are unhappy that Trump will be president again. Just 19% of Britons are happy that he will be serving a second term, though a further 23% are neither happy nor unhappy on his returning to the White House.
Reform UK voters are the exception among Britons, with 58% happy that Trump is president again. This compares to just 28% of Conservatives, 7% of Labour voters and 5% of Lib Dems.
Would you say that you are happy or unhappy about Donald Trump becoming US president again?
