On the heels of a well-received State of the Union address, President Donald Trump’s approval rating popped to 49 percent on Friday, Feb. 2, according to a survey of likely voters by Rasmussen.
Trump has not received a higher approval rating since mid-June last year. In predicting Trump’s 2016 victory, Rasmussen came in second in a list of 11 polls monitored by Real Clear Politics. The IBD/TIPP Tracking poll was the only major poll to accurately predict Trump’s victory.
