American voters by more than a two-to-one margin disapproved of President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency to get the cash Congress wouldn’t give him to build a border wall, a new poll said Wednesday.

Sixty-six percent of voters didn’t agree with the president, while 31 percent backed his decision, the Quinnipiac University survey said.

“’We didn’t want it in the first place and we certainly don’t want it built by emergency executive order,’ say wall-weary voters in big numbers,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll.

Republicans backed Trump’s use of emergency powers for wall money by 69 to 29 percent.

Every other party, gender, education, age and racial group disapproved of the move.

Women opposed building a wall by 62 percent to 34 percent, while men were divided, with 49 percent supporting the wall and 47 percent opposed, according to the survey.
