Trump has lowest 100-day approval rating in 80 years: POLL

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Thirty-nine percent of respondents in this ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll said they approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, down 6 percentage points from February, while 55% said they disapprove.
48% : Further, while 60% said Trump is out of touch with the concerns of most people in the country, even more, 69%, said the Democratic Party is out of touch.
45% : Still, Trump is hanging on to the vast bulk of his voters.
45% : The S&P 500 is down 8.7% since Trump took office.
45% : And in their own camps, relatively few Republicans said Trump is out of touch, 19%, while twice as many Democrats, 38%, said this about their own party.
43% : The silver lining for Trump is that the opposition party remains out of favor.
41% : Sixty-two percent said prices, which as a candidate, Trump pledged to curb, are rising.
41% : In the political middle, 62% of independents said Trump is out of touch, while substantially more, 76%, said the Democratic Party is out of touch.
40% : In both cases, independents help tip the balance to opposing versus supporting Trump.
38% : A difference is that 51% of Republicans strongly approve of Trump, while 85% of Democrats strongly disapprove.
37% : At the same time, more people said both parties should be doing more to oppose Trump rather than more to support him -- the Democratic Party by 46%-38% and the Republican Party by 50%-26%, with the rest saying each party is handling this about right.
35% : In the last area covered by this survey, respondents by 49%-34% said they think Trump has weakened rather than strengthened U.S. leadership in the world.
33% : That may reflect that 43% of non-college-educated white men said the nation's economy has worsened under Trump, and a third said they have gotten less well off financially since he's taken office.
31% : Trump is also tied with his previous lows in approval among Democrats and liberals.
31% : In the Democratic group, 91% said they are concerned Trump will do too much to shrink the size and role of government, while 26% in the Republican group said the same.
30% : Perhaps most threatening to Trump, given his promise of an economic turnaround, is the extent of negative views on the economy: Seventy-two percent said they think it's very or somewhat likely that his economic policies will cause a recession in the short term.
29% : In a positive for the president, more people said they believe waste throughout the federal government has decreased rather than increased under Trump, 43%-25%.
28% : As mentioned, 58% said they express concern that Trump will do too much to reduce the size and role of the federal government.
27% : In another gauge, 57% said Trump is "going too far" in closing federal agencies, and it's about the same, 56%, in both laying off federal employees and in taking action against his political opponents.
21% : In 2021, by contrast, 87% in the GOP camp said they were concerned that Biden would go too far to increase the government's size and role, while 31% in the Democratic group said so. Views on the Trump administration cutting federal regulations are more closely divided.
16% : Donald Trump has the lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years, with public pushback on many of his policies and extensive economic discontent, including broad fears of a recession, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.
8% : Seventy-three percent said the economy is in bad shape, 53% said it's gotten worse since Trump took office and 41% said their own finances have worsened -- which is as many as those who said so under President Joe Biden last summer.
