Trump’s Second Term is Off to a Cold Start 🥶

What We're Showing

The approval ratings of recent U.S. presidents in their first 100 days in office.

Data comes from Gallup. Ratings are as of April of each president's first year in office.

Both of Trump’s first and second terms are visualized because there was a break between them, unlike other presidents who served one or two consecutive terms

Trump Records Lowest Approval Ratings

Trump entered office for his second term with an approval rating of 47% in January, which declined to 44% by April.

This is slightly higher than Trump's first term 100-day approval rating of 40%, the lowest of any modern U.S. president. Most of his predecessors enjoyed a “honeymoon period,” with early approval ratings well above 50%—John F. Kennedy topped the list at 81%.

According to Gallup, a majority of Americans said they have either “only a little” (11%) or almost no (44%) confidence in the president to do the right thing for the economy.
