President Donald Trump's approval rating is reported to be the lowest among any newly elected president at the 100-day mark in more than seven decades, according to four new polls.

Trump's approval rating is reported to be hovering between 39% and 45% in three surveys, all of which are significantly lower than every other president elected since 1953. The president is reported to have a 39% approval in the latest Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll; a 41% approval rating in the latest CNN/SSRS poll; and a 45% approval rating in the latest NBC News Stay Tuned Poll.

All three polls show a significant decline from the high favorability ratings Trump had when he took office in January, with many claiming to have lost confidence in his ability to handle the economy, a key focus during his re-election campaign in 2024. Trump's handling of the economy is down to an all-time low 39%, which he had previously hit during his first term and again last month, while only about 52% of respondents are confident in his ability to deal with the economy, a decrease of 13 points since December, according to the latest CNN/SSRS poll.

An estimated 72% of respondents in the Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll said they believed it was "very" or "somewhat" likely that Trump's policies would lead to a short-term economic recession. The majority of respondents in the NBC News poll said they disapproved of the president's handling of trade and tariffs (61%) and inflation and cost of living (60%). during his first 100 days in office.
