A Majority of Americans View Trump's First Year as a Failure, Polls Show

"Polling data from multiple sources shows that a majority of Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump's performance in the first year of his return to the White House. A CNN/SSRS poll published on Friday shows that Trump's approval rating was at a net -22 points, with only 39 percent approving of his performance over the past year and 61 percent disapproving. Among those disapproving of Trump's job performance, three-quarters said they "strongly disapproved," amounting to nearly 1 in 2 of the survey's respondents (46 percent)."

"Overall, 58 percent of Americans deemed Trump's first year back in the Oval Office as a failure. Ninety-two percent of liberal respondents said they viewed his time back so far as such, while 65 percent of moderates also described Trump's first year that way. And while conservative respondents largely viewed the president's first year positively, a quarter of those respondents (24 percent) said Trump's first year was mired in failures."
