According to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, Nearly two-thirds of Americans give President Donald Trump poor or fair marks for his first 100 days in office.
Forty-five percent of people surveyed believe Trump is off to a poor start, with an additional 19 percent who say it's been "only a fair start." That's compared with a combined 35 percent who think the president's first three months in office have been either "good" or "great."
Trump's overall job-approval rating dropped to 40 percent — down four points from February. It's the lowest job-approval rating for a new president at this 100-day stage in the history of the NBC/WSJ poll.
In comparison, 54 percent of Americans said that Barack Obama's first 100 days had gotten off to either a good or great start in the same NBC/WSJ poll in 2009.
Trump's 100th day in office takes place on April 29.
