Trump averages highest approval rating of his presidency in second quarter: Gallup
By Jonathan Easley - 07/18/19 10:03 AM EDT
President Trump’s job approval rating is near its all-time high and his second-quarter average is the best of his presidency, according to the latest data from Gallup.
From mid-April to mid-July, Trump’s 10th quarter in office, the president had an average approval rating of 42.7 percent. That topped his previous best quarter of 41.9 percent, which came during his sixth quarter in office.
Gallup noted, however, that Trump’s job approval rating has fluctuated between a very narrow range of 36.8 percent to 42.7 percent, giving him a strong floor of support but a low ceiling.
And Trump’s current job approval is off its high mark of 46 percent, reached in mid-April, and stands at 44 percent as of July 12.
The Gallup data does not account for Trump’s latest controversy, in which he attacked four Democratic women of color in Congress, saying they should “go back†to where they came from.
