Nearly 70 percent of voters say that President Trump is a bad role model for children, according to a survey released Wednesday.
Respondents to the Quinnipiac University poll said by 67 percent to 29 percent that Trump is not a good role model for kids, a position held consistently across age groups ranging from 18 to 65 and up.
Over half of voters, 55 percent, say the president does not have a sense of decency, while 42 percent said he does.
Democrats and some Republicans have criticized Trump in the past over his decorum and harsh, sometimes vulgar, language.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who is retiring after 2018, once said that the 45th president is "absolutely not" a good role model for children and would be remembered most for "the debasement of our nation."
GOP Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.), who is also stepping down after this year, condemned Trump's "mean and cruel tweets" in an October interview.
"The statements that are made about people and seeming to ascribe the worst motives to people as well, that's something we tell our kids not to do,” Flake said.
