U.S. President Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating in the first 100 days of office of any president in the past seven decades—a period often referred to as the “honeymoon”—according to local media polls published Sunday.
According to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS, the Republican president has a 41% approval rating in his first 100 days in office, which will end on April 30th. This is the lowest for any newly elected president in 100 days since at least Dwight Eisenhower, including Trump’s own first term.
Presidential approval ratings for Trump, who took office with the highest polling figures of his political career, have dropped 4 points since March and 7 points since February.
Only 22% say they strongly approve of Trump’s performance, a new low, and approximately 45% of the population strongly disapproves, according to CNN’s survey.
CNN notes that since March, Trump’s approval rating has dropped significantly among women and Hispanic Americans; 7 percentage points in each group, to 36% among women and 28% among Hispanics.
Meanwhile, a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll found that Trump “faces growing opposition to his ambitious and controversial agenda” and that his approval rating is declining.
The poll notes that Trump’s overall approval rating is lower than it was just two months ago, with 39% of American adults approving of Trump’s job performance, compared to 55% who disapprove, including 44% who strongly disapprove. In February, those ratings were 45% positive and 53% negative.
According to the survey, among registered voters, the decline has been even greater: in February, 48% of registered voters gave him a positive rating, compared to 51% negative; but today those figures are 42% positive and 55% negative.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research reported this weekend that 4 in 10 Americans say President Trump has been a terrible leader in his second term.
