1600 PENN — Grade the President For 88 years, America was asked one question every day: how is the President doing? That daily scorecard went away. 1600 PENN brings it back — and hands it to you. This isn't a poll. It's a public record. Grade the President A–F on what matters — the economy, foreign policy, leadership, and the actions making news today. Thirty seconds a day. Every morning at 9 AM ET, citizens' grades roll up into one national report card and post publicly to X, tagging the White House. Your voice doesn't stop at your screen. • Weekly Poll — your overall read on the presidency • Executive Orders — grade real actions, straight from the Federal Register • News feed — grade what happened today No account required. No name is ever published with your grade. 100% independent — no party, no corporate filter. Grade the person, not the party.
