President Donald Trump has seen a significant positive shift in his polling numbers according to the latest Morning Consult poll.
For the first time in his presidency, a majority of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing, according to the Morning Consult/POLITICO survey. The president's approval rating is at 52 percent, which is the first time he's cracked the 50-50 mark in this specific survey.

But all of the late night show hosts bash trump unmercifully all night every night. The MSM has a full force of articles that aere negative about POTUS. The Democrats have sworn to roadblock every positive thing Trump wants to do (May God repay them).
Best Prez we’ve ever had, and in a nick of time.
3/15 passed a few days ago :)
Polls showing him closer to 60 are out there.
This is a Polutico poll, meaning it must be higher.
Polls are taken to manipulate news and the news cycle. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Always read the fine print.
AOL, Need to +12 on that poll!
The realm of political polling is the realm of the left. Best to not participate in polls and to ignore them, whether good or bad.
Yeah I dont believe polls, even if they are good because I saw during the election how off they all were. Supposedly Gallop has him at 40 percent which we know is total BS..and Fox News has another poll with him losing some ground which I also know to be BS..so I say to President Trump, just continue what your doing, the heck with the polls, just keep MAGA!!
52%? bet its way higher.
I just watched an interesting old video from the Hoover institute with Milton Friedman shot in 1998 (I think)
The interviewer asked him how much credit Bill Clinton should get for the projected 87 billion dollar surplus around then, and Friedman said none at all. He said the surplus was due to the cumulative effect of Reagan’s actions back in the early to mid Eighties, and the actions of the Fed (which he said even though the Fed has a history of doing much harm, and he thinks we should abolish it, was also responsible.)
So, he said Reagan was responsible.
When he elaborated, he said the Fed took action early in Reagan’s presidency, and Reagan’s popularity dropped as the economy slipped backwards due to the necessary Fed actions (after the disastrous Seventies) and Reagan didn’t step in to stop the Fed. He let the actions take his course regardless of the drop in his popularity, because it needed to be done. Friedman said that Reagan was the only President who would have done that.
I think we have another. He doesn’t give a crap what they think...I think he will do what is right.
How is the LSM’s approval rating goin’?
Why it’s taking so long is a mystery.
(I forgot; this is the country that also elected a Kenyan safari guide as their president. TWICE!!, for crying out loud.)
“It’s the economy, stupid!” —— As long as the economy keeps getting better Trump will get the credit from voters.
More Friedman on Reagan. This is the one I think you were referring to:

I am a relative newcomer to watching Friedman...I know who he was and what he stood for, but had never watched any videos of him...I find him to be not only extremely educational, but entertaining as well! I saw the one where Phil Donahue had him on, and Donahue’s shoulders literally sagged in frustration.
He was no match!
