Americans Have Very Low Expectations for Trump

A new CBS News poll finds just 34% of Americans think President-elect Trump will be a good or very good president, and another 23% think he will be average. Thirty-six percent think he will be a poor president.

Trump ends the election year with far lower expectations than his two most recent predecessors did. In December 2008, 63% of Americans thought Barack Obama would make a good for very good president, while just 7% expected a poor performance. Less than half thought George W. Bush would make a good president in December 2000, but just 14% expected him to be a poor president.
