How Donald Trump’s approval rating stands after 100 days
After 100 days in office, Donald Trump‘s approval rating stands at 44 percent, with his disapproval at 54 percent, giving the president a net approval rating of -10 points, according to Newsweek’s tracker.
That is his net lowest approval rating so far since beginning his second term.
Measuring a president after 100 days is a tradition that began during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first term in the 1930s and has since become a symbolic milestone that offers a snapshot of a president’s early momentum, public perception, and political capital.
Recent polls have shown Trump’s approval rating at a historic low. The latest CNN/SSRS poll, conducted between April 17-24 among 1,678 adults found that 41 percent currently approve of the president’s job performance, while 59 percent disapprove.
That is the lowest approval rating for any newly elected president at 100 days dating back at least to Dwight Eisenhower – including Trump’s own first term, according to CNN.
