Some of the most recent polls available show an increase of support for President Trump. In fact, his 46% Gallup approval rating is basically on mark with Obama’s approval rating at this time in 2012. The disgraced 44th president went on to beat Mitt Romney in the general election.

Fox News has details, “A poll conducted in the lead-up to Tuesday’s presidential debate showed Americans giving President Trump his highest approval rating in months while a majority predicted he would defeat former Vice President Joe Biden in November…Gallup released its results on Thursday, claiming that Trump saw his highest approval rating (46%) since May with approvals on his handling of certain issues, other than the economy, below 50%…The data, which was gathered in the two weeks before the debate, reflected an uptick from the 42% Trump received earlier in September.
