Trump Pulls Highest Polling In Months

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has climbed to its highest level in several months after the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Iran aimed at ending the conflict.

The Daily Mail reported Tuesday that Trump’s approval rating has risen to 47 percent. That is the highest mark the president has seen since February, when Operation Epic Fury began.

The latest survey found that 53 percent of respondents disapprove of Trump’s performance.

“For the past three months, Trump’s approval rating in the Daily Mail/JL Partners polls has consistently stayed at 43 percent, up a tick from his all-time lowest approval rating this year at 42 percent in mid-March,” the outlet reported.

The poll was conducted from June 19 to June 21, shortly after Trump traveled to France for the G7 summit. Iran was a major topic at the gathering, and Trump repeatedly spoke about bringing the war to an end and the economic boost he believes would follow.

During an event Tuesday in eastern Pennsylvania, Trump said Iran had been cooperative so far, though he warned that the United States still had options if Tehran changed course.

“Iran has been great — if Iran is reasonable, if they’re smart. Otherwise, we’ll have to finish the job, which will take about maybe less than a week,” Trump said.

“But they’re going to be okay, I think. They’re going to do what they have to do, because we want to have it done,” he added.

Trump also pointed to falling gas prices as one sign that the conflict’s end could help the broader economy.

“The average price of gasoline nationwide is down 60 cents a gallon just from a short while ago,” Trump said.

According to AAA, the national average price for a gallon of regular gas is $3.93, down from $4.53 a month earlier.
