With the midterm elections approaching, approval ratings for President Donald Trump are going up, with a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll giving him a record high 47 percent overall approval rating. According to the same poll, that’s an increase from 44 percent in September, 44 and 46 percent in August, 45 percent in July, and 44 percent in June.
Notably, Trump’s current approval rating is two points higher than President Barack Obama had with registered voters in the same poll in late October 2010, just before Obama’s first midterm election.
