A pair of polls released Sunday showed President Donald Trump¹ approaching his 100th day in office with the lowest level of support any modern president.

 

上周日公布的两份民意调查显示，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普创下了美国现代历任总统执政百天支持率的最低纪录。

 

Forty-two percent of people in an ABC News/Washington Post poll said they approved of Trump's performance so far, while 53% said they disapproved². An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll had 40% of respondents saying they approved of Trump and 54% saying they disapproved.

 

But the bad news wasn't Trump's alone. The ABC/Washington Post poll found significant majorities said both the Democratic and Republican parties were "out of touch" with the concerns of most Americans.

 

Sixty-seven percent of respondents said the Democratic Party was out of touch, as did 62% for the Republican Party. Less than a third said either party was "in touch."

 

Trump fared slightly better than the parties, with 58% saying he was out of touch.

 

Despite Trump's low approval numbers, the poll showed him retaining support among his base, with 96% of people who said they voted for him saying they would do so again. The poll showed only 85% of those who voted for Hillary Clinton would do so again, with most of those who would not saying they would either go with a third-party candidate or not vote at all.

 

That difference in remaining support for the two candidates would mean Trump would best Clinton 43 to 40% in a hypothetical rematch today. In the actual election Clinton failed to achieve an electoral victory but outpaced Trump by almost 2.9 million votes, with 65,853,516 (48.18%) to his 62,984,825 (46.09%) according to the Federal Election Commission.
