New polling shows Americans are huge fans of President Donald Trump's new crime crackdown.
Last week, the president ordered National Guard troops into D.C. to help quell the city's rampant crime problem. And he's promised to send the military into Chicago, Illinois, New York City and other crime-ridden areas in the coming weeks.
Americans are largely fans of Trump's crime crackdown, with 53 percent saying they back the president's actions to tackle violent crime.
The new AP-NORC survey finds that more than half of Americans - 55 percent - say it is acceptable for the U.S. military and National Guard to assist local police in major cities.
At the same time, only about one-third support allowing the federal government to take control of city police departments. The poll also shows strong concern over urban crime, with 80 percent of respondents calling it a serious problem in large cities.
