Despite a never-ending drumbeat of criticism and suspicion related to a trio of Russia investigations, President Donald Trump’s approval rating is in better shape than Barack Obama’s was at the same point in his presidency.
Trump’s job approval number stood at 48 per cent on Wednesday in a Rasmussen Reports tracking poll. Fifty-one per cent disapprove.
On February 21, 2010, Obama’s was 45 per cent, with 54 per cent opposed to his work in the Oval Office.
Trump’s current level of support is also above his performance level in the 2016 election, when 46.1 per cent of voters chose him over Hillary Clinton and a handful of minor candidates.
Obama began his presidency at 67 per cent approval in the Rasmussen tracking poll, compared with 56 per cent for Trump.
Yet 13 months later, the two men have switched places on Rasmussen’s Oval Office leaderboard.
