Donald Trump's job approval rating among likely U.S. voters hit 52 per cent on Monday in a daily tracking poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports, the polling organization he uses most frequently to promote himself.
That number is his highest since March 6, 2017, less than seven weeks after he took office. It has been even longer since Trump's 'strongly approve' and 'strongly disapprove' numbers weren't under water. They were even at 39 per cent on Monday.
Overall, 47 per cent of likely voters disapprove of Trump's Oval Office performance. That's a low water mark since November 2, 2018.

LOL! Six minutes is like an eternity here. But, great minds and all that...............
I think his humorous moments with the women in white were really powerful in showing him as an amiable man.
The special guests were powerful.
Relatives of kids with cancer, of families with veterans, and of families of law enforcement constitute a huge number in this country. He sowed a lot of good will.
That’s what I was thinking. Lol.
