CNN's Kaitlan Collins presented concerning poll numbers for President Trump as he reached the 100-day milestone of his second term, revealing that 69% of Americans believe a recession is imminent. These figures mark a historic low in approval ratings for Trump, even worse than previous presidents dating back to FDR, who popularized the 100-day benchmark. Despite this, the White House is emphasizing its immigration policies, showcasing large posters on the North Lawn to draw attention to top agenda items that they believe resonate with Americans.
COLLINS: Tonight, here in Washington, we're on the verge of a critical juncture by which all modern presidents are judged, for better or for worse. While the first 100 days are but a snapshot in time, and things can certainly change, and often do, as we've seen, we're now seeing what the American public has to say, about how President Trump has done in his first 100 days in office.
It was FDR, of course, that set 100 days as the standard for judging a president's performance. And President Trump now is setting his own standard for the lowest approval, 100 days in, since at least Eisenhower.
On day 99, the White House made clear what part of the President's agenda, it believes, resonates with Americans the most, right now. Because from the moment that you entered the White House grounds today, there were large posters lining the North Lawn, as you can see here, designed to highlight the President's immigration crackdown.
