Donald Trump soars in job approval ratings, but Democrats ahead in polls



Polls paint a mixed picture of US President Donald Trump's political fortunes in this election year showing his job approval ratings and sense of betterment at the highest levels while also having all the leading Democratic challengers defeating him.

A Gallup poll released on Thursday that said that 61 per cent of Americans felt they were better off now than they were three years ago, the highest number since 1992 during a year the president is facing re-election.

A Gallup poll released on February 4 on the eve of Trump's acquittal showed a 49 per cent approval rate for him, steadying his support in the Senate.

That job approval rating in Gallup's poll in the first week of February of the re-election year is higher than former President Barack Obama's 47 per cent in 2012.

In other polls also he was doing well overall, although the picture is mixed.

The job approval rating, which is seen as a measure of his popularity, aggregated by RealClear Politics (RCP).was at 45.6 percent this week, the highest in his presidency.

But disapproval of his performance was 52.1 percent, a spread of 6.5 percent, RCP calculated.

In contrast, the Americans have a far lower opinion of Congress: According to RCP aggregation, 65.6 percent disapprove of its performance and only 22.4 approve.

The Democrats will have to contend with Trump's rising job approval ratings, especially in the economy, and the sense that things have gotten better when they confront him in the November election.

But they can get satisfaction in RCP aggregations of national polls in which all the six leading contenders for the Democratic Party nomination are shown beating Trump by margins ranging from a 6 percent lead for Michael Bloomberg to just 1 percent for Pete Buttigieg, a small-town mayor from Indiana.

The showing of Bloomberg, the owner of the news and financial service company that bears his name and a former New York mayor, against Trump in the national poll is a surprise as he is only at the third place in the polls for Democratic Party nomination and hasn't participated in party elections so far.
