A new Zogby poll gives Donald Trump the highest approval rating he’s achieved since he became president. Trump’s job approval is now at 51 percent, which is higher than 48 percent received at the same time in Obama’s presidency, which was about a year out from his re-election campaign.
If you recall, Obama was elected to a second term.
Millennials aged 18-29 also give President Trump a 51 percent approval rating. 25-34 year olds give him 53 percent, and ages 35-54 give the president a whopping 59 percent.
Not bad!
Why no, it's not a Rasmussen poll! https://t.co/4AZAO3lQXA

It seems the results of the Mueller report have helped Trump’s numbers.
Zogby writes:
“President Trump’s job approval rating has seen a post Mueller report boost! We called it a few weeks ago. But that’s not the complete story as to why the president has reached a peak in his job approval rating. Trump is also riding high on positive economic news-a record high stock market, low unemployment, and solid GDP growth at home.”
“One of the demographics to give Trump a very good job performance rating were self-identified social networkers (59% approve/40% disapprove-people who engage with social media), Zogby added. “The president also made strides with college educated voters (55% approve/45% disapprove), and saw support increase slightly with non-college educated voters (47% approve/50% disapprove).”
