Trump gets highest rating so far and on most important issue, the economy he is at 51 %

ABC News:
Bolstered by a strong economy, Donald Trump reached the highest job approval rating of his career in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll and runs competitively for re-election against four of five possible Democratic contenders. Yet he remains broadly unpopular across personal and professional measures, marking his vulnerabilities in the 2020 election.

Forty-four percent of Americans approve of Trump’s overall job performance, up a slight 5 percentage points from April and 2 points better than his peak early in his presidency. Still, 53% disapprove, keeping him at majority disapproval continuously for his first two and a half years in office, a record for any president in modern polling.

Fifty-one percent approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, more than half for the first time in his presidency. His approval ratings across eight other issues all are substantially lower, ranging from 42% on handling taxes to 29% on global warming.

Personally, moreover, a broad 65% say that since taking office Trump "has acted in a way that’s unpresidential," not far from the 70% who said so in mid-2017 and early 2018 alike. Just 28% in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, say his behavior is "fitting and proper" for a president.

If they did a poll on support for his ethanol policy I would have been in the disapprove camp.  But on other issues and particularly the economy I definitely support the President.  The fact that he is not "presidential" is not particularly important to me because most of the times he is, it is because he is fighting back against political enemies who would prefer that he be a stoic punching bag.  Too often Republican Presidents have allowed Democrats and their media cohorts to ruin their presidency by not fighting back against their unfair attacks.  There is a long history of unfair attacks on Republican presidents.  I approve of Trump's policies on the Middle East, Iran, Israel.  I am glad he forced the NATO allies to pay what they promised.   Trump has weathered one of the most unfair and egregious vilification campaigns pushed by the Democrats and the media in the form, of the Russian collusion hoax. That is reason enough to vote against Democrats for a lifetime.
