BEIJING, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Nearly two-thirds of U.S. voters believe that President-elect Donald Trump should close his personal Twitter account, according to a poll released Tuesday.
The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, cited Trump's controversial statements on his personal Twitter account throughout the campaign and asked the respondents whether they believe Trump should keep his account on the social network.
A total of 64 percent of the respondents said Trump should delete his Twitter account, while only 32 percent said he should keep it, according to the poll, which surveyed 899 voters nationwide by phone on Jan. 5-9.
Respondents belonging to the age group of 18 to 34 had the strongest negative response, of whom 71 percent said Trump should delete his Twitter account, while only 26 percent said he should maintain it.
Tim Malloy, assistant director of the poll, said that "140 characters may not be enough to tell Donald Trump just how much Americans want him to knock off the tweeting."
