That is little different from initial reactions to the election result four years ago, when 52% were happy that Barack Obama won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But voters\u2019 \u201cgrades\u201d for the way Trump conducted himself during the campaign are the lowest for any victorious candidate in 28 years. Just 30% of voters give Trump an A or B, 19% grade him at C, 15% D, while about a third (35%) give Trump a failing grade. Four years ago, most voters (57%) gave Obama an A or B, and after his 2008 election, 75% gave him an A or B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-310-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2016\/11\/21\/low-marks-for-major-players-in-2016-election-including-the-winner\/0_2-png-5\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"ece7db\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ece7db;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"309\" height=\"274\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/11\/0_2.png?resize=309,274 309w\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/11\/0_2.png?w=309\" alt=\"Large share of Trump voters are confident in kind of president he\u2019ll be\" class=\"wp-image-63235 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time in Pew Research Center post-election surveys, voters give the losing candidate higher grades than the winner. About four-in-ten (43%) give Clinton an A or B, which is comparable to the share giving Mitt Romney top letter grades in 2012 (44%) and 13 percentage points higher than Trump\u2019s (30%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a bitter and contentious campaign, voters are deeply polarized in their reactions to Trump\u2019s victory and expectations for his presidency. Among all voters, 56% expect Trump to have a successful first term, which is lower than the share saying that about Obama\u2019s first term eight years ago (67%), but on par with expectations for Obama\u2019s second term in November 2012 (also 56%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-310-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2016\/11\/21\/low-marks-for-major-players-in-2016-election-including-the-winner\/0_3-png-4\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"ece7dc\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ece7dc;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"309\" height=\"274\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/11\/0_3.png?resize=309,274 309w\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/11\/0_3.png?w=309\" alt=\"How Clinton voters feel about \u2018giving Trump a chance\u2019\" class=\"wp-image-63243 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Virtually all of Trump\u2019s supporters (97%) say they expect Trump\u2019s first term to be successful; a smaller, but still overwhelming majority of Clinton supporters (76%) say Trump will be unsuccessful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump voters have a high degree of confidence in \u2013 and high expectations for \u2013 the president-elect. Fully 88% say they are confident in the kind of president Trump will be, while 90% or more express at least a fair amount of confidence in his ability to deal with key issues such as the economy, illegal immigration and health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By contrast, Clinton voters express little or no confidence in Trump to deal with major issues. And while a majority of Clinton voters (58%) say they are \u201cwilling to give Trump a chance and see how he governs as president,\u201d nearly four-in-ten (39%) say they can\u2019t see themselves giving Trump a chance \u201cbecause of the kind of person he has shown himself to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equally important, most Democrats would like to see their party\u2019s leaders stand up to Trump rather than work with him. In fact, Democratic support for cooperation with the president-elect today is substantially less than GOP support for working with Obama eight years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-310-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2016\/11\/21\/low-marks-for-major-players-in-2016-election-including-the-winner\/0_4-png-3\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f3efe5\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f3efe5;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"309\" height=\"600\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/11\/0_4.png?resize=309,600 309w\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/11\/0_4.png?w=309\" alt=\"Most Clinton voters want Democratic leaders to stand up to Trump\" class=\"wp-image-63249 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly two-thirds of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters (65%) say \u201cDemocratic leaders should stand up to Donald Trump on issues that are important to Democratic supporters, even if means less gets done in Washington.\u201d Just 32% want the party\u2019s leaders to work with Trump if it means disappointing Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In November 2008 \u2013 a time when voters generally felt much better about the election and its outcome \u2013 Republicans and Republican leaners were more favorably disposed to their party\u2019s leaders working with Obama. Nearly six-in-ten (59%) said GOP leaders should work with Obama, while 36% wanted them to \u201cstand up\u201d to the new president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Democratic voters are now far more supportive of the party moving in a more liberal direction than they were after either the 2012 or 2008 elections. About half of all Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters (49%) say Democratic leaders in Washington should move in a more liberal direction, while nearly as many (47%) favor a more moderate approach. Following Obama\u2019s victories, majorities favored the party\u2019s leaders moving in a more moderate direction (57% in both 2012 and 2008).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-640-wide\"><a class=\"image-box\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2016\/11\/21\/low-marks-for-major-players-in-2016-election-including-the-winner\/0_5\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20061666\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eae5da\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eae5da;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"308\" height=\"583\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/11\/0_5-1.png?resize=308,583 308w\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2016\/11\/0_5-1.png?w=308\" alt=\"Relatively few Trump backers want him to appoint Democrats to key positions\" class=\"wp-image-192157 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For their part, more than half of Republican and Republican-leaning voters (53%) say Trump should work with Democratic leaders in Congress, who are in the minority in both the House and Senate, while 39% say he should stand up to Democratic leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, few Trump voters have a positive view of Trump reaching across partisan lines for appointments to his administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only about a quarter (26%) of Trump voters say the president-elect should appoint Democrats to serve in his administration.

Only about a quarter give an A or B to the Republican Party (22%) and the Democratic Party (26%). About three-in-ten give the parties an F (30% for Republican Party, 28% Democratic Party), by far the highest share giving the parties failing grades since this series of surveys began in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voters also give abysmal grades to the press and pollsters, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2016\/11\/09\/why-2016-election-polls-missed-their-mark\/\">pre-election surveys were widely criticized<\/a>. Just 22% give the press a grade of an A or B, while 38% give it a failing grade. Similarly, fewer voters award pollsters grades of A or B (21%) than a grade of F (30%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And voters do not spare themselves from criticism.
