Gallup: Trump Job Approval at Personal Best 49%
* Approval among Republicans hits 94%
* Poll shows highest party polarization on record
* Half of registered voters say Trump deserves to be re-elected
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Donald Trump's job approval rating has risen to 49%, his highest in Gallup polling since he took office in 2017.
The new poll finds 50% of Americans disapproving of Trump, leaving just 1% expressing no opinion. The average percentage not having an opinion on Trump has been 5% throughout his presidency.
Trump's approval rating has risen because of higher ratings among both Republicans and independents. His 94% approval rating among Republicans is up six percentage points from early January and is three points higher than his previous best among his fellow partisans. The 42% approval rating among independents is up five points, and ties three other polls as his best among that group. Democratic approval is 7%, down slightly from 10%.

WNU Editor: It is too early to say what will happen in November this year. But if trends are any indication, and with a number of black voters now seriously thinking of voting for President Trump (and the coattails that it may bring), if I was a betting man I would put my money on President Trump winning re-election and Republicans retaking control of the House of Representatives. As for the US Senate .... I am still not sure on what will happen there. There are 23 Republican Senate seats in play, and some of them do not look secure (Arizona, Maine, etc.).
