President Trump’s first 100 days in office have come and gone. As politicians, pundits, and historians continue to weigh in on his performance, one question remains largely unaddressed:

What do the President’s own employees think?

In order to answer this question, Government Business Council, the research arm of Government Executive Media Group, surveyed 1,295 qualified federal employees representing a range of agencies and political affiliations. Several conclusions can be drawn:

Approval is low, with 37% expressing satisfaction with Trump’s performance so far

Trump is more popular with men (42%) than with women (31%)

Trump is viewed more favorably by government employees based outside the Beltway (40%) than by those within (29%)

While the President enjoys steadfast support from Republicans, escalating opposition from Democrats and Independents undercuts his popularity overall

How has Trump performed as a manager? What will be the ultimate impact of his planned workforce reductions and early executive orders? Has he changed the federal government's reputation for the better, or for the worse? For the individuals charged with executing his vision, these questions are top of mind — and their answers serve as an early indicator of what lies far beyond these first 100 days.
