Okay, so Tuesday marks 100 days of President Trump's second term. And it's been a lot. It's been a lot. President Trump has done an enormous number of amazing things, ranging from fighting DEI in every aspect of his administration to going after university campuses that are hotbeds of antisemitism and leftism and wokeness.

56.644 - 77.028 Ben Shapiro

ranging from his attempts to inject Pete Hegsath, the Secretary of Defense, in order to fix all the problems at the Pentagon, to Doge, which is going through all aspects of government spending with Elon Musk and attempting to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. He has issued more executive orders in his first 100 days than any president in history. He's been incredibly vulnerable.

effective in terms of pushing forward many parts of his agenda. With that said, the polling right now for President Trump is not good after 100 days in. And that is a reflection of sentiment specifically regarding the economy. So if you look at President Trump's brand new poll numbers, they're a bevy of polls and they're all telling the same story 100 days in.

96.05 - 114.313 Ben Shapiro

According to a brand new Washington Post, ABC News, Ipsos poll, President Trump's approval rating is down from February. It was 45% in February. It's down all the way to 39% today, which is very, very low. And again, that is all before the main effects of the tariff war that he has declared on the world, also on China, kicks in.

115.29 - 135.814 Ben Shapiro

That is lower than any other president at this point on record in his first term or in his second term, actually. President Trump historically has not pulled particularly well. If you look at his first term, 100 day point, also fairly low. President Trump has always had a very high floor and a very low ceiling in terms of his polling data, meaning that his floor is usually 38, 39%.

136.594 - 156.907 Ben Shapiro

He rarely goes below that. At the same time, he rarely gets above 45, 46% in the opinion polls. With that said, he has dropped fairly significantly. in these opinion polls, in many of them, and it's not just one, This is particularly rooted in the economy. Now, again, when it comes to the Democrats, the good news for President Trump is he's blessed by his enemies. His enemies are awful.

157.227 - 175.941 Ben Shapiro

And the American people hate the people that President Trump faces down even more than they dislike President Trump. So, for example, the same poll showing President Trump at a 39 percent approval rating shows that seven in 10 Americans say the Democratic Party is out of touch. Six in 10 say that about Trump. Nearly seven in 10 say that about the Democratic Party.
