Trump's approval rating on economy hits new high: Gallup
Trump's approval rating on economy hits new high: Gallup | TheHill
By Michael Burke ~~ President Trump's approval rating on the economy has reached a new high, according to a Gallup poll published Tuesday.
The poll showed that 56 percent of adults in the U.S. approve of Trump's handling of the economy, the best mark of Trump's presidency and the highest approval rating for Trump on any of the 14 issues in the poll.... The poll also found that a majority of voters approve of Trump's handling of unemployment and of the situation with North Korea, with 54 percent approving of Trump's job with unemployment and 51 percent approving on North Korea.
But the president's overall approval rating still sits at just 43 percent, according to the poll. Another 54 percent of adults, meanwhile, disapprove of Trump's performance as president.... Trump gets the lowest marks on his handling of relations with Russia, race relations and corruption in government, according to the poll. The poll found that 39 percent, 38 percent and 37 percent approve of Trump's handling of those three issues, respectively.... Respondents were split heavily along partisan lines in their views of Trump.... Ninety-three percent of Republicans approve of Trump's handling of the economy, compared to just 20 percent of Democrats. Additionally, just 6 percent of Democrats approve of Trump's overall job performance, while 90 percent of Republicans approve, according to the poll.

Polls, especially this far away from an election, are not worth much except to notice trends. The trend for Trump is up in most of the polls. Given the hue and cry coming from the Democrats, especially those in the House, these numbers are remarkable. Note that the poll reached out to adults, i.e. anyone who responded. Rule of thumb for all adults polls is to add 10 points to any result involving Trump and the Republicans to understand what would really happen in an election.
Trump gets the lowest marks on his handling of relations with Russia...
I had thought the MSM was relatively impotent at this point. Since there is no REAL evidence to justify low mark on Russia, One can only assume the MSM has had an impact. Note that Trumps high numbers are in areas that Americans can see for themselves and the results are 180 degrees out from the media narrative.
