President Trump’s approval rating hits all-time high of 54%
The last time the public opinion of Trump’s performance as commander in chief was at that level was in February 2017.
The new mark is derived from a RealClearPolitics average of nine recent Trump job-approval polls.
A Rasmussen Reports poll, conducted from Sunday to Tuesday, earned the president the highest job-approval rating of all.
Trump took advantage of the favorable numbers, tweeting the results of the Rasmussen poll on Tuesday with the caption, “THANK YOU! #MAGA #KAG2020,” acronyms for his campaign slogans Make American Great Again and Keep America Great.
The president later Tuesday tweeted again about support numbers, claiming his approval ratings would be even higher if Democrats hadn’t kept going after him over Russia and Ukraine.
