Even among those who disapprove of the way the president is handling his job generally, 20% say they approve of his work on the economy. That's larger than crossover approval for any other issue by 12 points.

Trump's approval on health care policy has improved slightly since June 2018, up five points to 38%, his worst approval rating tested in the poll. Slightly more, 42% approve of how he's handling immigration and foreign affairs, and 39% approve of his handling of race relations.

At the same time, Trump's favorability rating has hit its highest point since the 100-day mark of his presidency: 45% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the President.

More, 54%, continue to hold a negative view. But the latest movement marks a 5-percentage point increase since a December 2018 poll. His largest favorability increases come among independents (up 9 percentage points), those with a college education (9 percentage points) and women (8 percentage points).



Soooo, people are most favorable with him due to the economy (which can arguably be attritubed as dividends from work done by the previous administration), while EVERYTHING ELSE in sub 50% approval rating.

Those are not good results. I don't know of any system where we should be happy with less than a 50% grade.

Reminder: this is from the same article you took the screenshot from to use as some sort of argument that Trump is doing a good job.

So fucking L-O-L
