According to the latest poll numbers from Rasmussen Reports, President Trump has a 50% approval rating.

From Rasmussen Reports:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 33% who Strongly Approve of the way the president is performing and 39% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -6.

As Matt Drudge noted on Monday, President Obama had a 46% approval rating at this point in his presidency in the same poll in 2010.

The media just ran the whole Stormy Daniels scheme and congress boxed Trump in to get him to sign a terrible omnibus bill which screwed him and his supporters over, nonetheless his numbers appear to be holding strong.

Trump tweeted about it Monday night:

“President Trump's approval rate among likely U.S. voters hit 50 percent on Monday, which puts him higher than former President Barack Obama's score at the same point into his first term, according to a new poll.” Via: @Anna_Giaritelli @DCExaminer pic.twitter.com/ZzycNoDCQJ

He also alluded to the "caravan" illegal alien invasion scheme and claimed (likely wrongly) he was powerless to stop it:

As ridiculous as it sounds, the laws of our country do not easily allow us to send those crossing our Southern Border back where they came from. A whole big wasted procedure must take place. Mexico & Canada have tough immigration laws, whereas ours are an Obama joke. ACT CONGRESS

Honduras, Mexico and many other countries that the U.S. is very generous to, sends many of their people to our country through our WEAK IMMIGRATION POLICIES. Caravans are heading here. Must pass tough laws and build the WALL. Democrats allow open borders, drugs and crime!

39% of my nominations, including Diplomats to foreign lands, have not been confirmed due to Democrat obstruction and delay. At this rate, it would take more than 7 years before I am allowed to have these great people start working. Never happened before. Disgraceful!
