WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Donald Trump has frequently utilized Twitter to attack his political opponents and critics, but the results of a new Quinnipiac University poll found that a majority of American voters think the president-elect should stop tweeting.
Fifty-nine percent of voters said Trump should shut down his personal Twitter account, while 35 percent think he should be keep his personal account.
Trump recently came under fire for using Twitter to attack the cast of the hit Broadway musical 'Hamilton' for delivering a statement directly to Vice President-elect Mike Pence after a recent performance.
The billionaire-turned-politician claimed 'Hamilton' is highly overrated and demanded the cast and producers of the musical apologize to Pence.
Trump also recently used Twitter to attack the New York Times as a 'failing' publication that has inaccurately covered him with a nasty tone before meeting with reporters and editors from the paper.
'Voters tell President-elect Donald Trump, 'You've got the job. Now be a leader not a tweeter,' said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
The poll also found that voters have mixed views regarding whether Trump will be a 'good' president or a 'bad' president.
Seventeen percent of voters said Trump will be a 'great' president and 32 percent said he will be a 'good' president, while 17 percent said he will be 'not so good' and 26 percent said he will be 'bad.'
Quinnipiac noted that Trump is also widely seen as a strong and intelligent person with good leadership skills, although most say he is not honest or level-headed.
While voters also said Trump will improve the economy and create jobs, they don't expect him to get Mexico to pay for a border wall or take out the terrorist group known as ISIS.
The Quinnipiac survey of 1,071 voters was conducted November 17th through 20th and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
