A spike in popularity for President Donald Trump is buoying his handling of the Los Angeles riots as voters offer praise for the president’s ability to manage the crisis.
Morning Consult found that the president’s approval rating has surged to its highest level in months, underscoring the strong position Trump and his advisors believe him to be in as L.A. burns. The riots, now in their sixth day, came in response to an operation apprehending illegal immigrants, an issue where Trump already polls the strongest.
Asked about their approval of Trump, a solid 50% of voters agreed while 44% disapproved. That’s a +4 and -4 shift, respectively, in each direction since the pollsters released their last survey in May.
The results are the highest showing for Trump since January, when he was riding high on a wave of optimism about his second administration.
Stacked up against other world leaders, Trump appears to be doing quite well in the Morning Consult rankings. He is the seventh most popular leader out of all free countries surveyed by Morning Consult, falling behind those such as Indian’s Narenda Modi and Javier Milei of Argentina but ahead of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
