President Trump called attention to a daily approval rating tracking poll that showed 50 percent of Americans approve of the job he’s doing in office.
Trump retweeted a post by Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report linking to a Rasmussen Reports poll showing Trump’s approval rating is at 50 percent. Half of Americans also disapprove of the job he’s doing.
Rasmussen reported it’s the first time Trump’s approval rating has been at 50 percent in almost a month.
Trump’s approval ratings have been historically low during most of his first few months in office. Usually presidents are given a sort of honeymoon that keeps their approval ratings high after their inauguration, but many polls show Trump’s approval ratings have dipped into the 30s and 40s.
Rasmussen showed Trump is up 6 points from the 44 percent approval rating he had a week ago in the same poll.
