Donald Trump: polls of approval and favorability
I will give another nationwide map of the state polls when I see some interesting ones. Until then I will show another nationwide poll that shows some commentary:


WASHINGTON (CNN)President Donald Trump's approval rating is holding steady in a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, but his numbers on handling several key issues are climbing, as almost 6 in 10 say things in the country are going well.
Overall, 41% approve of the President's work, and 53% disapprove. Those numbers are about the same as at the end of March.

On the issues, however, Trump's numbers are climbing. Approval is up 4 points on the economy to 52%, the first time it's topped 50% since March 2017; up 5 points on foreign trade to 43% approval; and his numbers on immigration have improved 4 points since February, with 40% now approving. On handling foreign affairs, Trump's approval rating tops 40% for the first time since April of 2017, though the increase since March is not statistically significant (42% approve currently).


Quote:All in all, do you think Donald Trump has been a better
president than Barack Obama, or do you think Obama
was a better president than Trump has been?
All in all, do you think Donald Trump has done a better
job as president than Hillary Clinton would have done
if she had been elected in 2016, or do you think
Clinton would have done a better job as president
than Trump has done?


Trump does not fare well compared to Obama, Americans divided between Trump and Clinton

Obama 56 - Trump 37
H. Clinton 47 - Trump 44
