Americans question Trump commitment to rights

Half of Americans say the Trump administration isn’t committed to protecting rights and freedoms, an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll finds. Majorities doubt his commitment to press, speech, a fair justice system and free elections, but 73% say he backs gun ownership. Slim majorities view Democrats as committed to press, speech, religion and elections, not gun rights. Most oppose Trump’s $230 million request from the Justice Department. Six in ten say judges enforce limits on his authority, and 64% say his administration avoids court orders; 58% say he goes too far against opponents.
