Trump's first 100 days of his second term have seen the president aggressively assert his executive authority across a variety of policy areas. He has used his presidential powers to affect change most prominently in the areas of border security, trade, education, civil rights, technology and innovation. Trump also has notably used his executive powers to slim down the federal government's bureaucracy, including through both spending and staffing cuts at various federal agencies.
While Trump supporters and other Republicans have touted the president's accomplishments during his first 100 days, Trump's latest poll numbers suggest that Americans as a whole are less thrilled with the way Trump has steered the nation thus far.
The president stands at 44% approval and 55% disapproval in the most recent Fox News national poll, which was conducted April 18 through April 21.
His numbers are also underwater in polls released the past few days by ABC News/Washington Post (42% approval–55% disapproval), New York Times/Siena College (42%–54%), CNN (43%–57%), Reuters/Ipsos (42%–53%), Pew Research (40%–59%), and AP/NORC (39%–59%).

Most recent national public opinion surveys, but not all, indicate Trump's approval ratings in negative territory, which marks a slide from the president's poll numbers when he started his second term in January.
