How Americans evaluate U.S. presidents and first ladies

A new YouGov survey asked Americans to rate 20 U.S. presidents and 11 first ladies on a scale from outstanding to poor. Half of Americans rate Donald Trump as “poor,” the most who do for any of the 20 presidents.

The three presidents rated as outstanding or above average by the highest shares of Americans among the 20 in the poll are Abraham Lincoln (74%), John F. Kennedy (66%), and George Washington (65%).

More recent presidents have many more detractors than do presidents from earlier in U.S. history, who greater shares of Americans are unsure about. 55% rate Donald Trump as poor (48%) or below average (6%), as do 50% about Joe Biden and 48% about Richard Nixon.

DHS is expanding its efforts to identify Americans who oppose Immigration and Customs Enforcement by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency.

Host: So when Donald Trump walked in, there were women in there who weren't fully clothed. Hughes: Correct. Women were not fully clothed when Donald Trump came in. Host: And some of those women were, what, as young as 15? Hughes: Yeah, as 15 years old.

Kegsbreath: Pentagon may bar tuition aid for top universities in Hegseth’s crackdown on ‘biased’ schools

Military officers could soon find dozens of top colleges and universities across the United States abruptly off limits for tuition assistance as part of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s campaign against schools he describes as being biased against the US military and sponsoring “troublesome partnerships with foreign adversaries.”

The uncertainty about tuition assistance and eligible programs for Defense Department funding has led to confusion and concern amongst service members who have already applied or been accepted to these schools. Officials also said they were concerned it amounted to an attempt to purge diversity of thought from the military.

The policy was rolled out in a memo signed by Hegseth last week saying that beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, the Pentagon would be severing its relationship with Harvard University and discontinuing all graduate-level professional military education, fellowships and certificate programs there for active-duty service members.

Hegseth blew up another boat and killed more people. We have no idea who they were or what they were doing because it’s just “trust me, bro” while we kill people.
