A majority (65%) of voters polled for a new Morning Consult/Politico survey say President Donald Trump's tweets about MSNBC's Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski were unacceptable.

The president tweeted about Brzezinski's face-lift and called her "dumb as a rock."

The poll was conducted June 29-30 among 1,989 registered voters. The margin of error is plus or minus two percentage points.
