President Donald Trump has appointed 194 of the 792 active federal judges, or almost a quarter of the total.

Few United States adults – just 5% – say God chose Donald Trump to be president because God approves of his policies.

These views are more upbeat than at any point in the past two decades. More Americans say Trump’s policies have made the economy better than worse.

Women account for 28% of the 67 judges Trump has appointed to the federal courts since taking office, well below the share appointed by Barack Obama but higher than the share appointed by any other Republican president. Seven of the 67 judges (10%) are racial or ethnic minorities.

Obama has issued 35 executive orders per year in office, slightly fewer than the 36 per year in office that George W. Bush issued and the lowest average in 120 years.

Obama granted clemency to more people than any U.S. president in 64 years, but he also received far more requests than any president on record.
