Trump is still flunking

Voters grade the president’s performance

In January 2018, after President Trump had been on the job for one year, 35 percent of registered voters in America gave him a grade of F for his overall performance. This month, now three years in, the Morning Consult and Politico conducted the same poll, and voters think he’s doing about the same, with 38 percent saying he’s flunking. Opinions vary widely when divided along party lines: 71 percent of Democrats gave the president an F and only 1 percent gave him an A; 5 percent of Republicans flunked Trump compared with 51 percent who gave him an A; and 37 percent of independents gave him an F, while 11 percent responded that he deserved an A.
