A clear majority supported this week’s summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, an event that also seems to have helped make Trump more popular, according to a new poll by Monmouth University.

Seventy-one percent of voters approved of the historic meeting in Singapore earlier this week, which produced a joint statement promising “complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula” and lasting peace in the region.
