Trump consistently performs best in the Rasmussen poll. He hasn’t broken 40 percent approval in the Gallup poll since September.

The results come as President Trump spends his longest trip abroad in Asia. He told reporters in Manila Monday that he will be making an announcement Wednesday on the results of trade talks.
