President Trump’s approval rating is on the rise.
A new Rasmussen Reports survey released Wednesday says President Trump has a 57 percent job approval rating among likely voters.
In addition, the pollster has isolated key passages in Mr. Trump’s inaugural speech and asked respondents if they agreed with the ideas he presented.
Voters like Mr. Trump’s populist standing: 72 percent agreed with his statement that “For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.” 17 percent disagreed, 11 percent were not sure.
A majority of the respondents — 52 percent — also agreed with this statement: “From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this day forward, it’s going to be only America first.” Thirty-seven percent disagreed, 11 percent were undecided.
The poll of 1,500 likely voters was conducted Sunday through Tuesday.
In addition, Rasmussen also reveals that 54 percent of voters also favor a proposal that would cut spending up to 10 percent and cut staffing up to 20 percent. in some federal government agencies. Twenty-seven percent oppose such cuts, while 19 percent are undecided.
Right now, this rating is mostly a result of hope and optimism as people haven’t had a chance to experience any as a result of decisions President Trump is currently making. As people continue to see the benefits of Trump implementing his agenda and policies, this rating will continue to rise.
