Trump report card: A better than average 51% approval, but economic clouds forming

This week’s White House Report Card finds President Trump treading water but buoyed by one poll showing him at a high 51% approval rating.

Conservative grader Jed Babbin noted that Uncle Sam’s spending is out of control but that Trump is scoring some wins in foreign policy. Democratic pollster John Zogby sees trouble ahead as troops are withdrawn from Afghanistan but notes that his son Jonathan Zogby’s Zogby Analytics survey shows Trump’s new approval rating.
