The [Morning Consult/Politico survey](https://morningconsult.com/2016/12/06/donald-trump-tweets-much-voters-say/) of registered voters found that 56% think Trump uses Twitter “too much,” while 16% said he uses it “about the right amount” and 5% said he doesn’t use it enough. Among people who voted for Trump, 37% said he uses Twitter too much. Unsurprisingly, that figure was much higher among people who voted for Hillary Clinton—79% said Trump uses the social media site too much. Trump—who used Twitter to get out his message throughout the presidential campaign—has drawn criticism, especially since Election Day, for his [frequent use of Twitter](http://time.com/4585260/donald-trump-twitter-recount/) to make announcements and share opinions. “If the press would cover me accurately & honorably, I would have far less reason to ‘tweet.’ Sadly, I don’t know if that will ever happen!” Trump said Monday, in a [tweet](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/805804034309427200?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw) of course. Overall, 49% of respondents said they think Trump’s use of Twitter is a “bad thing,” while 23% said it’s a good thing. The poll, conducted online from Dec. 1 to Dec. 2, surveyed 1,401 registered voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4592043/donald-trump-twitter-poll/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4592043/donald-trump-twitter-poll/"},"headline":"Most Americans Think Donald Trump Tweets 'Too Much'","datePublished":"2016-12-06T17:33:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T02:10:11.500Z","description":"But 5% think he doesn't use it enough","url":"https://time.com/4592043/donald-trump-twitter-poll/","keywords":["Donald Trump","2016 Election topic","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf251b49edeca8a96/6988b0dfbc6cfc7be23df82c/donald-trump-twitter-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/bltf251b49edeca8a96/6988b0dfbc6cfc7be23df82c/donald-trump-twitter-poll.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President-Elect Donald Trump And Vice President Elect Pence Hold Election Victory Rally In Ohio","caption":"President-Elect Donald Trump And Vice President Elect Pence Hold Election Victory Rally In Ohio","creditText":"Ty Wright/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/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4592043/donald-trump-twitter-poll/","name":"Most Americans Think Donald Trump Tweets 'Too Much'"}}]}] ```
