Washington (CNN) A new Marist poll puts President Donald Trump's job approval rating at 42%, his highest in that poll since he took office. The poll, which was conducted Monday and Tuesday, found that some 50% disapproved of the President's job performance. Despite a peak approval rating, a plurality of those polled do not support the key policy Trump has been pushing this week: steel and aluminum tariffs. A majority of those polled (51%) said they believe special counsel Robert Muller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 US election has been fair. Twenty-six percent said Trump has done something illegal and 27% said he did something unethical but not illegal through interactions with Russia.
