A new poll finds that as Washington prepares for a military parade this weekend to honor the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, U.S. adults are more likely to approve than disapprove of President Donald Trump’s decision to hold the festivities. But about 6 in 10 U.S. adults also say Saturday's parade is not a good use of government money. Officials say the festivities will cost tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds about 4 in 10 U.S. adults “somewhat” or “strongly” approve of the parade, while about 3 in 10 “somewhat” or “strongly” disapprove. About 3 in 10 neither approve nor disapprove.
