CNN Poll: Trump Approval Climbs to 42 Percent

President Donald Trump's approval rating climbed to its highest since last August in a new CNN survey.

Key numbers in the results of the latest CNN Poll conducted by SSRS:

• 42 percent of U.S. adults approve of the job Trump is doing, up from 40 percent a month-and-a-half ago. It was as high as 42 percent in the CNN Poll in August 2018.
• 51 percent approve of Trump's handling of the economy, a 3-point jump from the beginning of February.
• Trump's approval rating on immigration fell two points and now stands at 39 percent.
• Trump's approval rating on foreign affairs remains at 40 percent.
• Regarding Trump's veto last week of a Congressional resolution to overturn his national declaration to secure money to build additional border wall, 55 percent said he should not have issued the veto and 35 percent said he was right to use his veto powers.

According to CNN, Trump's approval number of 42 percent puts him between former Presidents Bill Clinton (44 percent) in 1995 and Ronald Reagan (41 percent) in 1983 at this point in their presidencies.

Trump has garnered rising approval ratings in other recent polls as well, with an NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey giving him a 46 percent approval rating earlier this month.
