More give Trump an F than any other grade for first 100 days, poll finds
(NPR) Twice as many people said President Trump deserves a grade of F rather than an A for how he's handled his first 100 days in office, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.
Forty-five percent said Trump deserves the failing mark, compared to 23% who would pass him with flying colors. It's understandable that partisans would have strongly polarized views of the president, but it's also notable that half of independents said he deserves an F, and only a slim majority of Republicans would give him an A. -snip-
The poll of 1,439 adults, conducted from April 21-23, finds Trump's political standing in decline since he was sworn in for a second term. It's driven by views of how he's handling the economy and tariffs, but a slim majority now also disapproves of how he's handling immigration, which had been a relative strength.
Trump's overall approval rating is down to 42%, including just 36% among independents. For context, when looking at Gallup's numbers back to Harry Truman, this would be the second-worst approval rating for any president at the 100-day mark in those 80 years. The lowest? First-term Trump by a point.
