President Trump’s 100 Days of Record-Low Approval Ratings
President Trump’s job approval during his first 100 days in office is the lowest of any commander in chief since Gallup began tracking the initial months of a president’s term in 1953. According to Gallup’s most recent weekly survey, Mr. Trump ended his 100th day where he started: with more people disapproving of his presidency than approving of it.

New presidents have typically enjoyed a honeymoon period with independents and members of the opposite party during their first few months. Mr. Trump has had no such holiday.

Trump Is Beating Previous Presidents At Being Unpopular
His approval rating is well below those of other presidents at the same point in their presidencies.

A string of high-profile corrections and retractions by major news organizations on stories about President Trump or his allies have fueled more allegations of bias in the mainstream press.

The relationship between Trump and the news media regularly hits new lows, with insults flying between the two camps and reporters warning that the president is inciting violence against journalists.

But Trump’s allies on the right believe the president’s claims that the mainstream media is “fake news” have been bolstered by recent missteps. They point to recent admissions from top news outlets — including CNN, the New York Times and the Associated Press — that bombshell stories were either overcooked or included incorrect details.

Adding insult to injury: Breitbart News, the pro-Trump media outlet that is scorned by many in the mainstream press, has been fact-checking their mainstream counterparts with some success.
