New Poll Shows President Trump’s Approval Rating Is Closing In On 50 Percent

President Donald Trump signs three executive actions in the Oval Office on January 28, 2017 in Washington, D.C. The actions outline a reorganization of the National Security Council, implement a five year lobbying ban on administration officials and a lifetime ban on administration officials lobbying for a foreign country and calls on military leaders to present a report to the president in 30 days that outlines a strategy for defeating ISIS.

According to a new poll conducted by Politico and Morning Consult, 49 percent of voters approve of Trump’s presidency so far, while 41 percent disapprove. That is a stark contrast from the latest Gallup poll, which claims only 45 percent of voters approve of how Trump has handled things in office so far, with 48 percent disapproval.

The poll — which surveyed 1,991 people online from Jan. 26 to Jan. 28 — also found that 25 percent of registered voters agree with the president that millions of people voted illegally in the election. However, 35 percent of those people think that if there were fraudulent votes, they probably benefited Trump instead of his rival Hillary Clinton.

On Tuesday night, Trump announced his nomination for the Supreme Court, Judge Neil Gorsuch.

“I made a promise to the people that I would find the very best judge in the country to nominate to the Supreme Court,” Trump said from the White House. “Millions of people said this was the single most important decision.” (RELATED: Conservatives Are Thrilled That President Trump Nominated This Person To The Supreme Court)
