Monmouth Poll: Trump approval rating jumps 10 points
By Jonathan Easley - 01/31/18 01:00 PM EST

President Trump’s job approval rating has spiked 10 points over the last month and Republicans have erased a double-digit deficit in the generic ballot for the House, according to a new poll.

The survey, conducted by Monmouth University, finds that 42 percent approve of the job Trump is doing, against 50 percent who say they disapprove. The same poll from December found Trump’s job approval at 32 percent, against 56 percent who said they disapproved.

The 32 percent approval rating Trump logged in the December survey was the lowest for any major poll since Trump was elected. According to the RealClearPolitics average, Trump is at 40.4 percent approval and 56.3 percent disapproval.

Lets face it.  Trump is never going to have favorable numbers at 50%  much less more than 50%.

This poll gave the Dems a mere 2 point congressional ballot advantage.  RCP's Average still has them at 7.5%, but they have harmed their prospects at retaking the House in recent weeks.  A good number of them are emotionally fragile and/or mentally ill.  I am not sure Americans are ready to put them back in charge.

I bet that SOTU speech gives him a bump for a few days.

If anybody has access, there is a scholarly article in today's WSJ written by Scott Adams, about Trump's approval ratings.
