When it comes to defending the president, who from the White House is best suited for the job? Its not President Donald Trump.

More than half of Americans say that Vice President Mike Pence is Trumps best spokesman, according to a recent Monmouth University poll, which asked adults if they thought a specific White House staffer speaking on behalf of theTrump administration madethings better or worse for the president. Fifty-three percent of respondents said they believed Pences statements helped the White House.

Pences popularity albeit by a small margin makes him the only staffer to have a net-positive response. Trumps own press secretary, Sean Spicer, was neck and neckwith counselor, Kellyanne Conway, who were both tied with only 28percent of people saying they help the president.

The big difference is that whenSpicer speaks, 42 percent of people saidhe makes things worse, while only 28 percent saidhe makes things better.

Fortypercent of people said thatKellyanne Conway she of the alternative facts makes things worse.

For deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the problem is that a plurality of people 46 percent arent even familiar with who she is. But the overall opinion on Sanders is a bit divided as 23 percent said she helps, and 22 percent said she makes matters worse.

For Trump, the news is not too good: 61 percent believe he hurts himself more than he helps. Only 33 percent of adults polled thought that he does more to help himself. This shouldnt come as much of a surprise, as Trump often tends to deliveroff-the-cuff remarks either in public, or when hes by his lonesome with Twitter at the touch of his fingertips.
