However, only 85 percent of those Clinton voters said they would cast their ballot for her if given the chance to vote again, while a full 96 percent of Trump voters said they wouldn't do anything different.

The 100-day mark falls on Saturday, the same day government could shut down without a budget deal.

U.S. President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka hold a video conference call with Commander Peggy Whitson and Flight Engineer Jack Fischer of NASA on the International Space Station from the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, U.S., April 24, 2017.

In earlier days, Trump vowed to oversee the biggest "tax reform" since President Ronald Reagan's in 1986, a legislative feat that has since defied every president.

The Rasmussen poll is likely to confuse U.S. media consumers following front page reports over the weekend from ABC News, the Washington Post, NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, which showed Trump's approval of between 40 and 42 percent.

What are Trump's biggest achievements so far? He referred to President Trump's recent actions involving increased military spending as one such fulfilled promise.

So, we need to make sure that we shore these companies up. "That's why we think this is such a misguided effort", Davies said. This latest broadside against Canada highlights the broad disagreement between the two countries about subsidies.

But not everyone agrees. Trump recently made headlines for the USA strike on Syria, the nation's cutting of ties with Russian Federation, and the stalemate America's military seems to be facing with North Korea. A month or so ago, Trump's immigration ban caused an uproar in many liberal communities, and his administration lost a key member in former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

"There are regular, nearly daily conversations with the goal of trying to get the House, Senate and the White House on the same page", Toomey said.

That could be a source of tension, depending on what the White House proposes. Some analysts said this may consist of a proposal to cut the corporate rate to 15 percent, cap the individual tax rate at 33 percent, repeal the estate and alternative minimum taxes and cut taxes for the middle class. Toomey gives Trump an A+ on foreign policy. On top of his somewhat slow start, the president has also been haunted by a very low approval rating since taking office. On Apr. 23, a poll conducted by the Washington Post and ABC News showed Trump has a mere 42 percent approval rating, which the newspaper pointed out was "the lowest recorded at this stage of a presidency dating to Dwight Eisenhower".

However, all is not so bad for the multi-billionaire, according to reports.

Only time will tell what a controversial 100 days will turn into as President Trump continues his term; with a substantial amount of time left in office, both supporters and naysayers will be paying close attention.
