Where Trump stands now

Byron York, Washington Examiner

Put the numbers together, and they are basically in line with the RealClearPolitics average:

43.7% approval and 53.6% disapproval. It is not terribly hard to believe that Trump’s job approval rating is around 43% — it has spent much of the year bouncing around in the 44%-45% range, so a dip to 43% is not surprising. And it is significantly better than his approval in the RealClearPolitics average at this point in his first term, which was 39%. People are unhappy, but they know things are better than under the previous president.
