Do Americans think Donald Trump will be a good president?
By Sarah Dutton, Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus, Kabir Khanna and Anthony Salvanto
With the inauguration a little over a month away, just over a third of Americans (34 percent) think President-elect Trump will be a good or very good president,
and another 23 percent think he will be average. Thirty-six percent think he will be a poor president.
But expectations are strongly influenced by partisanship: 60 percent of Democrats expect him to be a poor president, while seven in 10 Republicans think Mr. Trump will be a good or very good president.
Mr. Trump ends the election year with far lower expectations than his two most recent predecessors did. In December 2008, 63 percent of Americans thought Barack Obama would make a good (34 percent) or very good (29 percent) president, while just 7 percent expected a poor performance. Less than half thought George W. Bush would make a good president in December 2000, but just 14 percent expected him to be a poor president.
