National satisfaction’ reaches 15-year high, ‘greatly increases’ Trump reelection.
People are practically giddy with the economic improvement under President Trump, and they believe by a 2-1 margin that it will only get better.


The latest Gallup survey also found that the good feelings have helped Trump to sustain his highest approval rating at 49%, which “greatly increases Trump's chances of being re-elected.”

In the survey, 45% are satisfied with the state of the nation. It hasn’t been that high since 2005, shortly after former President George W. Bush’s second inauguration.

“Trump's elevated job approval rating comes at a time when Americans are increasingly positive about the state of the nation. The percentage who are satisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. had already improved from 36% to 41% in a Jan. 3-16 poll, before the rise in Trump's job approval rating in late January. The latest survey finds a further increase in national satisfaction, with 45% now satisfied, the highest since February 2005,” said the Gallup analysis.

It came with several other notable economic numbers that show American confidence in the Trump economy:

  • 63% of U.S. adults rate current economic conditions as either excellent or good. Just 9% rate them as poor.
  • By 61% to 33%, people say the economy is getting better rather than worse.
  • Gallup's Economic Confidence Index, a summary of ratings of current conditions and whether the economy is getting better or worse, is +41. This is essentially the same as last month, but both readings represent a return to the prior high of +44 in October 2000.
It was the latest positive headline from Gallup for Trump, a string that started before the Senate trial on his House impeachment.

It also comes as other polls show that the public believes that Trump will win reelection in the fall. Washington Examiner Feb. 20, 2020
