POLLS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Donald Trump’s midterm report card is in, and few voters are giving the president high marks after two years in office. A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll asked voters to assign a letter grade to Trump at the halfway point of his term in the White House, and only a combined 34 percent gave the first-time officeholder an A (17 percent) or B (17 percent) grade. That percentage is topped by the 38 percent who gave Trump a failing, F grade for his first two years as president. An additional 10 percent gave Trump a D, and 13 percent graded him a C. A large majority of Democratic voters, 73 percent, flunk Trump, giving him an F. That’s nearly double the percentage of Republicans, 40 percent, who gave Trump an ‘A,’ though another 35 percent give him a ‘B.’ Trump, meanwhile, has regularly assigned himself the highest marks, rating his job performance an A+ compared with past presidents.”

Steven Shepard, “Trump grades himself an A+. Voters don’t agree.,” Politico, January 25, 2019 5:04 am
