President Trump Rated "F" By Millenials After Almost 100 Days In Office


We are counting down to 1oo days to President Donald Trump in office, and according to a poll released Tuesday by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics, only 32 percent of millennials approve of his performance so far.

Also about 40% said they give Trump an “F” on his first 100 days, and just a third said they support his handling of ISIS and Obamacare. The survey, included more than 2,500 responses from 18- to 29-year-olds, found that millennials scored Trump’s performance lower than the general public does.

 About 70% of young people,  said Trump’s tweeting is “not appropriate” and also expressed reservations about Trump’s hard hand on immigration. However,  48% identified as closely aligning with the Democratic Party, so it’s not much of a suprise that they disagree with many of Trump’s policy positions.

Twenty-eight percent said they align more with Republicans, and the rest did not see themselves as aligning with a party.

Most millennials polled expressed a renewed commitment to uniting America and found politics more relevant to their lives than they did five years ago. Seventy-four percent of those polled saw voting as the most effective way to create change, and they saw talking about politics and volunteering as important as well.

John Della Volpe,the polling director  in a news release said “While we spend a lot of time talking about what divides us, younger millennials are seeking leaders who will unite us”.  “This is both good government and good politics, and it is the overarching message from our last year of polling, town meetings and conversations with millennials from across the country.”

For media, only 10% gave mainstream outlets an “A” for their coverage of Trump’s presidency so far. Nearly half of respondents said they believe the news on their Facebook news feeds is “fake news.”

These polls definitely do not sway Trump . He seized on two polls  findings in  a pair of tweets Sunday afternoon, saying: “New polls out today are very good considering that much of the media is FAKE and almost always negative. Would still beat Hillary in … popular vote. ABC News/Washington Post Poll (wrong big on election) said almost all stand by their vote on me & 53% said strong leader.
