question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon ? WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s lawyer said on Thursday he would try to stop publication of a book that portrays an inept president in a fumbling White House and threatened legal action against former top aide Steve Bannon over “defamatory” comments in the book.
Harder also told Reuters “legal action is imminent” against  Bannon .
Trump cut ties with  Bannon  on Wednesday  saying his former adviser had “lost his mind ” in a blistering statement issued after comments attributed to  Bannon  in the book were made public.
Trump lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to  Bannon  on Wednesday asking  him  not to disclose any confidential information. They said  Bannon  had breached an agreement by communicating with Wolff about Trump  his family and the campaign and made “disparaging statements and in some cases outright defamatory statements” about them.
In the book   Bannon  was quoted as describing a June 2016 meeting with a group of Russians at Trump Tower in New York as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.” The meeting  held after the Russians promised damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton  was attended by Donald Trump Jr.  Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort  who was Trump’s campaign manager at the time.
Trump’s statement also diminished  Bannon ’s role in the election victory and accused  him  of leaking to the media. Before joining the campaign   Bannon  had headed conservative Breitbart News website and  he  proved to be a divisive figure in the White House.  He  returned to Breitbart after being fired  although he reportedly continued to talk with Trump.

 Bannon ’s reaction to the book controversy has been muted. In interviews with Breitbart News after the news broke   he  called Trump a “great man” and pledged continued support for his agenda.
Bradley Moss  a Washington lawyer specializing in national security law  said any non-disclosure agreement would not apply to  Bannon  once  he  became a government employee. The government has far less power to limit speech by employees than private companies  Moss said.
A lawsuit could hurt Trump because  Bannon ’s lawyers would be entitled to interview White House officials and collect potentially damaging documents from them in his defense  Moss said.
On Thursday  the White House said no personal devices  including cellphones  would be allowed in the West Wing beginning next week for security purposes. The moves followed the  Bannon  split but had been considered for some time.
 Bannon  helped Trump shape a populist  anti-establishment message and had been the president’s link to  his  hard-line conservative base of support  which is often at odds with the Republican Party establishment.

question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elaine Wynn ? Earlier in the day  the company appeared to side with its chairman in dismissing the Journalâs article  saying in a statement that the newspaper account âreflected allegationsâ made by his ex-wife  Elaine Wynn  in her litigation against him and the company.
âThe idea that I ever assaulted any woman is preposterous â he said. âThe instigation of these accusations is the continued work of my ex-wife  Elaine Wynn  with whom I am involved in a terrible and nasty lawsuit in which she is seeking a revised divorce settlement.â
 A spokeswoman for Elaine Wynn  75   declined comment  but  her  Washington-based attorney  James Cole  told Reuters the notion that his client fomented the allegations in the Journal article âis just not true.â
The couple first married in 1963 and divorced in 1986. They remarried in 1991 and divorced again in 2010  according to court papers. In an escalating battle that followed their bitter second split  Elaine Wynn sued her former spouse in 2016 seeking to gain control over her 9.4 percent stock in Wynn Resorts.

Negative


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz ? Beto O'Rourke Statement : Says "the latest polls show us tied neck-and-neck" with Sen. Ted Cruz . 
A West Texas Democrat seeking to represent the state in the U.S. Senate asserts that he 's already running even with incumbent Ted Cruz . 
We asked Mike Baselice of Austin , a pollster for Republican clients who 's not working for Cruz , to assess the April poll results . 
In a Facebook post , El Paso U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke 's campaign said : "Beto O'Rourke out-raised Senator Ted Cruz in the second financial quarter without taking a DIME from PACs , and the latest polls show us tied neck-and-neck ." 
Blank noted that among the 37 percent of respondents who did not choose between Cruz and O'Rourke , 36 percent identified as moderates , 33 percent identified as conservatives , and 19 percent identified as liberals . 
O'Rourke indeed raised more money than Cruz from April through June 2017 , but Cruz , a Republican , ended the quarter with a balance of $ 5.7 million in campaign cash compared with O'Rourke 's $ 1.9 million . 
Baselice suggested that the poll showed Cruz and O'Rourke with identical levels of support because it surveyed too few Republicans considering the actual Texas electorate . 
Let 's focus the Truth-O-Meter this time on whether the latest polls show O'Rourke "tied neck-and-neck" with Cruz . 
To our inquiry , Jody Casey of O'Rourke 's campaign sent us a web link to an April 2017 USA Today Network news story headlined , "O'Rourke , Castro running even with Cruz , poll shows ." 
-LRB- U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro , D-San Antonio , subsequently said he would n't be challenging Cruz . -RRB- 
In contrast , the poll found 37 percent of respondents with a favorable view of Cruz , 12 percent neither favorable or unfavorable and 45 percent unfavorable -- with 6 percent not knowing or having no opinion . 
According to the story , a statewide poll of 1,000 adults commissioned by the Texas Lyceum , a leadership group , found 30 percent of respondents favoring Cruz , 30 percent backing O'Rourke . 
O'Rourke said , "the latest polls show us tied neck-and-neck" with Cruz . 
For the full skinny , we turned to the Lyceum 's post about the poll , which specifies that it was conducted statewide April 3-9 , 2017 , and that 890 respondents who self-identified as registered voters answered this question : "If the 2018 election for Senate were held today , would you vote for the Republican Ted Cruz , the Democrat Beto O'Rourke , or have n't you thought enough about it ?" 
That poll did n't ask people to pick between Cruz and O'Rourke . 
The April poll "is mainly a reflection of name identification and voter attitudes about" Cruz , he said . 
When they choose to tune into the race , they are going to be predisposed towards supporting Cruz over O'Rourke ."

Neutral
