President Trump’s job approval rating is the highest it’s been in two years, boosted by voter optimism about the economy, according to the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey.
That’s up from 45 percent approval in March. The last time the president’s job approval rating reached 48 percent in the Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey was in June of 2017.
Trump appears to be getting a lift from the ECONOMY, with a record 62 percent approving of his approach to employment and 59 percent approving of his handling of the economy.
51 percent said the economy is heading in the right direction. Seventy-one percent of voters said the economy is very strong or somewhat strong.
“People’s views on the economy are gradually pushing Trump’s numbers up and his actions on other issues like CHINA AND IMMIGRATION ARE NEUTRAL TO POSITIVE,” said Mark Penn, the co-director of the Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey. “Every point of increase in this range of 45 to 50 improves the possibility of re-election.” May 31, 2019
