66 percent describe Trump 2.0 as 'chaotic,' 59 percent 'scary'

A new poll is finding some poor results for President Trump as he nears his 100th day in office next week, with majorities of respondents saying they would describe his time in office so far as “chaotic” and “scary.”

The New York Times/Siena College poll released Friday found 66 percent of registered U.S. voters surveyed described Trump's time in office so far as “chaotic,” with 32 percent disagreeing with that notion and 3 percent unsure of how to describe Trump’s second term.

Additionally, 59 percent of survey-takers said the president’s decisions have been “scary” upon his return to the Oval Office. Less than half of participants, 40 percent, said they would not use “scary” to detail Trump’s White House reordering. 

And 67 percent of women and 52 percent of men said they are frightened by Trump’s new policies, according to Friday’s poll. 

However, some voters remained enthusiastic about change. 

The survey found 42 percent of registered voters saying Trump’s second term has been “exciting” compared to 55 percent of respondents who thought the opposite. 

The assessment comes as a series of polls have shown dips in Trump's approval rating after the first quarter of his second term.

A number of the polls have found support for Trump falling since the initiation of a trade war with China, the world’s second largest economy. The tariffs have contributed to a significant drop in stock markets since Trump's inauguration.

Business owners and finance experts have warned the president’s changes could warrant a recession, putting pressure on Trump to change course.

The New York Times and Sienna College poll spoke to 913 voters nationwide April 21-24. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
