About 100 days in, the signs are almost uniformly negative for the second-term Trump project.

Analysis by Aaron Blake
The White House just announced President Donald Trump will hold a rally next week in Michigan to mark his 100th day in office.
The timing is … inauspicious.
Even as Trump nears that milestone by which new administrations have increasingly gauged their early progress, there are myriad signs that Trump’s second-term project may be falling apart.
A man who came into office vastly exaggerating the mandate that voters had just given him — and has governed accordingly — appears to have, per public polling,
squandered whatever mandate he was given with his brazen actions. And indicators
are increasingly dire on a number of Trump’s most significant policy fronts.
Multiple polls this week showed Trump hitting new lows. His approval rating has been double-digits underwater in surveys from the Pew Research Center (minus-19), Economist-YouGov (-13), Reuters-Ipsos (-11) and now Fox News (-11).
Trump was already more unpopular at this point in his presidency than any modern
president not named Trump; he’s now flirting with falling below where he was at
this point in his first term. [He already has]
Perhaps more troublingly for Trump, most of his major policies are even more unpopular than he is. That suggests his image is largely buoyed by loyalists who
might not like what they’re seeing but still say they support him — for now.
The Fox News poll showed Trump doing well on border security (+15), but his numbers on foreign policy (-14), the economy (-18), tariffs (-25) and inflation (-26) are all worse than his overall approval rating. His tariff gambit has pushed his economic numbers lower than they ever were in his first term, with concerns being widespread and bipartisan.
