The [NBC News/Wall Street _Journal_ poll](http://www.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/17255NBCWSJJune2017Poll.pdf) released Thursday found that just 17% of respondents had a very or somewhat positive view of Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and his [senior adviser.](http://fortune.com/2017/03/27/jared-kushner-white-house-roles/) While about a quarter of respondents said they felt neutral (24%) about Kushner or didn’t know his name and weren’t sure (28%), about a third of respondents (31%) said they had a negative view of him. Kushner’s negative rating was exceeded only by Trump’s, which hit 50% along with 38% of respondents approving of him. Kushner traveled to the Middle East this week to encourage peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders. When it comes to lawmen, 29% had a positive view and another 29% had a negative view of Comey and 24% had a positive view of Mueller, while 11% disliked him. The poll, which surveyed 900 adults between June 17 and June 20, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.27 percentage points. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4829621/jared-kushner-poll-approval-rating/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4829621/jared-kushner-poll-approval-rating/"},"headline":"Just 17% of Americans Have a Positive View of Jared Kushner","datePublished":"2017-06-22T22:49:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T16:17:10.144Z","description":"According to a new poll","url":"https://time.com/4829621/jared-kushner-poll-approval-rating/","keywords":["White House","Donald Trump","jared kushner","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt21686ceb145b7b2a/6988d2f4656a3f6a80bd0890/jared-kushner-poll.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt21686ceb145b7b2a/6988d2f4656a3f6a80bd0890/jared-kushner-poll.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jared Kushner Praises Tech Leaders At White House Meeting","caption":"Jared Kushner Praises Tech Leaders At White House Meeting","creditText":"Zach Gibson—Bloomberg/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4829621/jared-kushner-poll-approval-rating/","name":"Just 17% of Americans Have a Positive View of Jared Kushner"}}]}] ```
