A new Gallup poll shows that despite the Democrat’s best efforts they have failed. President Trump’s approval numbers are at the highest of his presidency despite the theatrical impeachment efforts.
According to Fox News:
Trump’s job approval rating now sits at 49 percent, with a 94 percent approval rating among Republicans and a 42 percent rating with independents, both numbers being highs for Trump’s presidency. The GOP itself is also seeing a significant boost.
With Trump’s impeachment trial nearing its end, his approval rating among Democrats has decreased from 10 percent in early January to 7 percent now. The 87-point gap between Democrats and Republicans is the greatest difference in any Gallup poll, Gallup said. The prior record, 86 points, was set by the ratings of President Barack Obama during the time of the 2012 election and was matched by earlier polls during Trump’s presidency.
Trump’s recent military action against Iran that resulted in the death of Gen. Qassem Soleimani is one issue where a majority of Americans gave the president their approval, with 53 percent supporting the move, compared to 45 percent opposed. Gallup cited this issue, Trump’s impeachment, the signing of the USMCA trade deal, and the economy as possible reasons for Trump’s new high mark.
“Americans’ confidence in the economy is higher than at any point in the past two decades,” a Gallup report said. “Similarly, national satisfaction is the highest in nearly 15 years.”
President Trump is also helping the Republican party. The favorability for the party is at the highest point since 2005.
