Trump Notches High Marks With Voters On Job Performance, Poll Shows

Voters are continuing to think highly of President Donald Trump’s leadership and strongly believe America is on the right track in the early days of the administration, according to a recent NBC News poll.

Trump notched a 47% approval rating alongside a 46% personal favorable rating, both of which marked all-time highs during any of his presidential terms, according to a NBC News poll released Sunday. Meanwhile, the number of Americans who believe the country is on the right track climbed to 44%, also marking a record high for Trump’s political career.

Still, there was a partisan divide on whether voters think the U.S. is on the right track under Trump’s leadership, with only 6% of Democrats saying that things in the nation are “generally headed in the right direction,” compared to 83% of Republicans, according to the poll. Meanwhile, the poll found that only 26% of Independent voters said they thought the nation was going in the right direction.

Despite Trump’s high marks in other areas, his handling of the economy is a concern among Americans, with just 18% of voters rating the economy as “excellent” or “good,” according to the poll.

Other recent surveys have also shown relatively high approval ratings for Trump’s leadership, including a CNN poll conducted by SSRS released March 12, which found that Trump gained a 45% approval rating alongside a 54% disapproval rating. Moreover, 50% of voters said they approve of Trump’s job performance, while just 48% disapprove, according to a daily tracking poll by Rasmussen Reports released Monday.
