President Donald Trump’s trip last week to the Middle East and his administration’s recent progress on trade agreements appear to have boosted his perception among American voters, with four national polls showing his favorability rating above 47%, consistent with the level following his inauguration.
Polls released Monday by Morning Consult, Rasmussen Reports, and Harvard CAPS/Harris showed Trump’s approval rating at 48%, 49%, and 47%, respectively, and a Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll released Sunday showed his approval rating at 50%.
“Despite the doom and gloom headlines from news organizations, the American people actually feel great about the direction of the country,” White House principal deputy secretary and senior adviser Harrison Fields told Newsmax. “What’s to hate? We are undoing the widely unpopular agenda of the previous office holder, uprooting waste, fraud, and abuse, and chugging along on the great American Comeback.”
