President Trump’s job approval rating has swung into positive territory for the first time ever in the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll released on Friday.
The survey finds that 48 percent of voters polled approve of the job Trump is doing, against 46 percent who disapprove. Eighty-six percent of Republicans respondents approve, compared to 49 percent of independents and 17 percent of Democrats.
It’s the highest mark Trump has ever received in the poll, a 5-point jump from the same survey in February and beating his previous best of 44 percent approval in January.
Trump responded to a tweet discussing the results, saying the numbers should actually be 10 points higher.

On the one hand, even with the boost, Trump’s approval is still under 50. And the bump he’s gotten is far smaller than crises have produced for past presidents, and also far smaller than state govs right now….

People who approve of Trump’s job performance now have to be as insane as he is.
