The latest data from Rasmussen shows that 32% of the responders strongly approve of Trump’s performance.

With the unemployment rate dropping to its lowest level in 10 years, Rasmussen also found that 61% of Americans are confident in the economy’s fairness. This is up from 42% when the same question was last asked in October last year.
