It has been exactly one year since Donald Trump was re-inaugurated as president, becoming just the second U.S. commander in chief to return to the White House after losing reelection four years earlier.
Now, at the end of Trumps first year back in office, a new Yahoo/YouGov poll finds that more Americans than ever think hes been a worse president than they expected and that hes changing America for the worse as well.
The survey of 1,709 U.S. adults was conducted from Jan. 8 to 12, right after Trump toppled Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, threatened to forcibly take Greenland from Denmark and mused about using the Insurrection Act against anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis and right before he and his team celebrated One Year of MAGA with a series of posts on social media.

Before Trump took office, more independents said they expected Trump to change America for the better (41%) than said they expected him to change America for the worse (34%).

They must have a very lousy memory. He wasn't that great the first go around but yes, I agree now he's worse than ever.
