A new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds Americans overwhelmingly reject the idea of spending taxpayer money on President Trump’s new White House ballroom.

Overall, 68% of adults said they opposed spending taxpayer money on security upgrades for the ballroom. A striking 57% oppose it strongly.

Just 21% of adults said they support it.

"$ on security upgrades"? What if they simply had asked about building the ballroom?
