I afford him a 1 because he recently supported the bipartisan criminal justice reform act. But the low unemployment was courtesy of the programs Obama put into place. The Tax plan is for the rich only (my taxes went up) and no president controls the stock market. ISIS is only partially defeated, despite Trump's policies and his alienation of our allies. So no, he doesn't get credit for those things. His wholesale destruction of clean air and water standards, trying to sell off National Parks and Monuments, appointing agency heads from people who were formerly in industries controlled by those agencies, and therefore with massive conflicts of interest..... I could go on, or I could be more specific, but it makes me tired to think of it all. So no, he gets only one point.

Have you noticed that pretty much the only praise of Trump is financial, mostly that people would were already comfortably off are even richer? That shouldn't be the primary boast of America, it seems to me.

By the way, ISIS may have lost its foundational justification with its territory, but terrorism is certainly not wiped out. If you pay even minimal attention to the news, you'll certainly be aware of unending attacks all over the world.

Unless I post a poll someday. But I don't know how to post a poll so it may never happen!
You must not know much about polls. This is an informal, very limited polls and can't be compared to a professional one.

Listen, try a poll. Even I managed to do it, so it can't be that impossible.

This.

Remove 1 and 10 votes. (Loyalists and the butthurt). Now you have more realistic numbers. He’s not perfect (10), and things arent that bad (1).

He gets a 1 which is 10% if a 10 is 100%, so that's the credit he gets by default.

He lowered taxes mostly for the very rich and very wealthy corporations and it didn't trickle down it's at a cost now of over $2 trillion added to our national debt. Low unemployment is only because he inherited a buzzing economy that was improving on it's own and it just went up. The stock market had it's worst December since the great depression.

So even if you count things as good, all the bad he has done with conspiring with Putin negate any of that as well as him saying that the white pride racists were good people. He befriends murderous kings and dictators and antagonizes and distances us from out allies.

And Isis is only mostly beaten in Syria, they are still out there and even general Mattis resigned because Trump pulled out of Syria because the dictator in Turkey told him to.

He is a pathological liar which nobody can deny.

His tax reform mainly benefited the rich. The stock market has been doing horrible. But it will always bounce back. I don't give credit to any president for the stock market. And ISIS is not wiped out. Listen to our military not Trump because he has no idea what he is talking about.

Round up all the 1s to 2s and all the 10s to 9 and he's still a mess. I'm surprised this place finally sees it, it used to be mostly people who supported him blindly.

The old adage of "rats" and "sinking ships".
