President Donald Trump’s job approval rating is now at 52 percent, according to today’s Morning Consult/POLITICO poll. The poll, conducted from March 9 to March 13, also found that 46 percent of Americans believe the country is heading in the right direction under the Trump administration.
A similar Morning Consult/POLITICO poll in February found considerably different results: Only 47 percent of Americans approved of Trump, and 40 percent felt the country was heading in the right direction.
The Republican-majority Congress also polled well. Americans trust Republicans to legislate on issues pertaining to the economy, jobs, immigration, energy, and health care — and, astonishingly, these responses were recorded during the days in which the Congressional Budget Office found that 24 million people will be uninsured by 2026 under the Republican-majority Congress’s health-care plan.
