A new Gallup poll released Tuesday — the day of Trump’s third State of the Union address and the day before his presumptive acquittal in the impeachment trial — shows his approval rating is the highest to date: 49 percent. One poll is, of course, one poll. ADThe NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed a similar narrowing of the most passionate opinions. ADEven the Marist poll, which showed Trump’s approval rating being somewhat unremarkable, had his strong approval at 30 percent, which was higher than in any poll before his impeachment began. Trump is still a president with an approval rating in the 40s, and that’s not ideal for a reelection campaign.
