Poll finds a majority that approve of Trump's handling of the economy

The Hill:
A majority of U.S. adults said they approve of President Trump's handling of the economy in a CNBC All-America Economic Survey released Monday.

Fifty-one percent of adults said they approved of Trump's performance on the economic front, the first time the poll has shown approval from more than half of respondents since the president took office. Thirty-six percent of poll participants said they disapproved of Trump on the economy.

Approval of Trump's handling of the economy has increased since March, when the CNBC survey found 45 percent support.

Fifty-four percent of respondents in the most recent poll said the economy is excellent or good, which CNBC said is the highest level it's found in the survey's 10-year history.

Forty-eight percent of adults said the economy has improved over the past year, while 13 percent said it's gotten worse and 35 percent said it's stayed the same. Of those who said they think the economy has gotten better, 55 percent gave Trump the most credit, while 12 percent give former President Obama the most credit and 5 percent credited congressional Republicans.

Trump's personal approval has not kept pace with this policies, but that should be no satisfaction for  Democrats who still trail on the issues that usually decide elections.
