Trump has higher approval rating than at any point during first term: poll
Fox News
A Pew Research Center survey found President Donald Trump has the highest approval rating less than a month back in office compared to any point in his first term.
While that's higher than at any point while he served as the 45th president, Trump's inaugural approval rating sinks below that of most other presidents since Ronald Reagan. George W. Bush's approval rating early in his second term, however, was about the same as that of Trump now. Danielle Wallace is a breaking news and politics reporter at Fox News Digital.

The poll, conducted Jan. 27 to Feb. 2 among 5,086 adults, found nearly three in ten adults, or 28%, view Trump's actions as better than expected, while 36% said they have been what they expected.
