Trump has lowest 100-day approval rating in 80 years

[Morphine Prince 109,699]

Donald Trump has the lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years, with public pushback on many of his policies and extensive economic discontent, including broad fears of a recession, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.

Yet he still beats the Democrats in Congress in terms of trust to handle the nation's main problems.

Thirty-nine percent of respondents in this ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll said they approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, down 6 percentage points from February, while 55% said they disapprove.

The previous low in approval for a president at or near 100 days in office, in polls dating to 1945, was Trump's 42% in 2017.

Perhaps most threatening to Trump, given his promise of an economic turnaround, is the extent of negative views on the economy: Seventy-two percent said they think it's very or somewhat likely that his economic policies will cause a recession in the short term.

Seventy-three percent said the economy is in bad shape, 53% said it's gotten worse since Trump took office and 41% said their own finances have worsened -- which is as many as those who said so under President Joe Biden last summer.

Sixty-two percent said prices, which as a candidate, Trump pledged to curb, are rising. Seventy-one percent said they see his tariffs as a negative factor in price inflation. And just 31% in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates with fieldwork by Ipsos, said they accept Trump's argument that the economy will emerge with a stronger foundation for the long term.

Negative assessments go beyond the economy. Sixty-five percent said Trump's administration is trying to avoid complying with federal court orders, and 64% said he's going too far in trying to expand presidential powers.

Sixty-two percent said they don't think his administration respects the rule of law.

Good. Those who voted for him deserve to see what they actually voted for.

Hilarious if it weren't for all the damage.

I'm not too worried about the "Americans trust him more than Democrats in congress" thing 'cause general congressional approval ratings are always tanked and national feelings on congress is mostly irrelevant 'cause representatives run state campaigns, not national ones.

That was the only thing I felt like talking about  

[REALITY 80,176]

The fact that we have 4 years of this...I legitimately don't think this country will survive by 2028.

[XxBones 1,266]

Maybe I am so over it and don’t even process any news any more but I doubt this poll will have any effect. His super fans will still be extreme and so will he. At this point I am letting it play out now because like what can we do. A lot of them troll just for reactions too. 

[lastpopicon 37,265]

good, impeach him now.

[Lextyr97 20,796]

Why have I only heard from 1 single congressman about impeaching this turd? Where is everyone else?

I just think it's funny that we're barely 3 months in and the 2026 midterms are more than likely secured for Democrats  

Historically, usually the party in power loses the House after two years but now it's just about how much Republicans will manage to lose.

The Senate will be tough and I'm sure Republicans will keep it but if things keep going south THIS quickly for Republicans and if we actually have a recession.... I can see tough races ahead.

I'm not making any more assumptions or predictions, the American political state isn't based on logic anymore, but yes I agree

[Bonkers 30,860]

The 39% approval rating is shameful. 

I know most Americans ARE embarrassed, but too many aren't.

This is fake news. He has the best approval rating like nobody has ever seen before

I wouldn't write the Midterms yet. 

And I also would entirely expect them to be fixed.
