A new poll shows that President Donald Trump’s approval rating hasn’t changed significantly since Friday.

Rasmussen Reports found on Monday, Feb. 6, that Trump’s approval rating stands at 53 percent while 47 percent disapprove.

Some 39 percent “strongly approve” and 38 percent “strongly disapprove,” the poll found.

“Voters are more supportive of Trump’s first nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court than they were initially for either of President Obama’s choices,” Rasmussen said in another report, with 86 percent seeing Judge Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation by the U.S. Senate as likely.

Rasmussen has a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points and a 95 percent level of confidence.

As with predictions of the outcome of the election before Nov. 8, Trump’s approval rating polls might not be entirely accurate, as Politico noted.
