Donald Trump has now been president for one tumultuous, exhausting, and dangerous month. He took Washington — and the world — by storm. He has brought most of his opponents to heel and his controversial cabinet picks have been confirmed. The pace of executive orders and policy changes has left people disoriented.

Finally, some good news!

  • Quinnipiac: Approval: 45% Disapproval: 49%

  • CNN: Approval: 47% Disapproval: 52%

  • Reuters: Approval: 44% Disapproval: 51%

  • Washington Post: Approval: 45% Disapproval: 53%
