Ignore their denials to the contrary - the separation of children from their parents is the purest expression of the cruelty that Donald Trump and the Republican Party favor. -Andy Borowitz, June 17
Trump’s Approval Rating Climbs To Personal Best, Tying His First Week In Office The Gallup poll was conducted last week, before public outcry over the president’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy. 6/18/2018
Amid public outrage over President Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, a poll from Gallup released on Monday found that the president’s job approval rating has climbed back to his personal best in a Gallup poll: Forty-five percent, the same figure as his first week in office.
The poll was administered last week, fresh off Trump’s historic summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Gallup was quick to note that Trump’s rating is high for his presidency, but lower than the historical average of 53 percent for all presidents since the organization started polling in 1945.
HuffPost Pollster, which combines recent opinion polls including CNN, Rasmussen and Gallup, found that Trump’s approval rating was at 43 percent.
