Our latest ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll finds that 39 percent of Americans approve of the job Donald Trump has done in his first 100 days in office, the lowest approval for any president at this point in their term in data going back to 1945. Economic discontent is extensive, with 73 percent saying the economy is in bad shape and 72 percent thinking it’s very or somewhat likely Trump’s policies will cause a recession in the short term.

 

In addition to coverage by ABC and the Post, results were picked up by USA Today, The New York Post, Mother Jones, CNBC, Vanity Fair, Politico, The Hill, Newsweek, Letters from an American, Truthout, Scripps News, Katie Couric Media, Mediaite, Hollywood Unlocked, RBC-Ukraine, Kyiv Post and Business Times, among other outlets.

 

Separate analyses from the poll covered views on immigration, tariffs, Elon Musk and opinions on Trump’s proposals to take control of Canada and Greenland, serve a third term and send violent U.S. felons to foreign prisons. These results were covered by USA Today, The Guardian, Daily Herald, Politico (also here and here) and The Hill (and here and here), among others.
