However, Trump would retain most of his votes (96 percent) compared to Clinton (85 percent), resulting in a 40-43 vote if the election were held today. "Certainly when the president campaigned his proposals were for tax cuts, corporate and individual".

Both of the ideas are broadly supported by Democrats and have been a part of Trump's platform for some time. About four in five Americans are anxious about health care, with 49 percent worrying a lot and 33 percent worrying a little.

It was found that at this stage of the presidency, Trump has received a lot less thumbs up than his predecessors.

The same poll shows 42 percent of Americans approve of Trump's performance as president, while 53 percent disapprove.

However, a majority of those surveyed agreed that the 45th president is doing a good job when it comes to putting Americans back to work and also concerning his worldwide dealings, but is was also noted that major popularity problems were discovered with his opposing party.

Sixty-two percent of Americans support the administration's recent military action in Syria; with 88 percent of Republicans and 43 percent of Democrats when looking at the support by party. In the immortal words of the commander-in-chief: "Sad!"

Wall Street analysts say Trump may instead offer a package of rate reductions, like those backed by Reagan in 1981 and President George W. Bush in 2001, which left the tax system intact.

Dairy, lumber additions to NAFTA? Trump administration signals that's the goal
Shares in Canadian lumber companies rose as the level of the new tariffs came in at the low end of what investors were expecting. The move signals a radical shift in trade negotiations that Trump long promised during his presidential campaign.

Sources say this isn't the first time Trump has seemingly gotten out ahead of possible bad news with a statement directed towards the media. Among those who voted for him last November, Trump's approval rating stands at an impressive 94 percent.

Rasmussen claimed that that it is the only major national pollster who asks the question of "likely U.S. voters, those who tell us they are likely to vote in the next election".

But as a governing tool, the first 100 days is meaningless, especially for our current president.

But now that Trump's 100th day as the man at the Resolute Desk is approaching, signing executive orders has transformed from an abuse to an accomplishment, according to his top spokesman.

"We feel very good about what we've done as we head up to this first hundred days", he said.

Other positives for the shrewd businessman include his commitment to preserve American jobs.

Complicating the milestone week is the most mundane and basic of governing tasks: passing a spending bill in Congress to keep the government running. Also, Toomey likes that President Trump is standing tough against sanctuary cities like Philadelphia.
