Voter optimism around economic gains made under the current administration has boosted approval of President Donald Trump to its highest rating in two years, according to the latest data from the Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey.
According to the pollsters, the last time Trump’s approval rating reached 48 percent was in June 2017, near the beginning of his administration.
The economy appears to be the main factor contributing to the rise, with a record 62 percent of registers voters approving of his approach to employment and 59 percent approving of his handling of the economy, the survey said.
A slim majority of 51 percent also said that the economy is heading in the right direction under the Trump administration. Of those surveyed, 71 percent said the economy “is very strong or somewhat strong.”
The Gallup poll recorded that there was “some momentum” for Trump in recent times, according to The Hill.
“The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied, at which time the Tariffs will be removed,“ Trump explained on Twitter. ”Details from the White House to follow.”

Overwhelmed Immigration System
Officials with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told The Epoch Times on May 19 that migrant families in Texas are being transported to other sectors along the southern border by plane and bus due to “capacity limitations.”The transportation of migrants, border patrol officials said, is being done to help mitigate the challenges posed by what they described as an “unprecedented number” of people in CBP custody.
“To address this critical operational challenge, and to ensure the safety of individuals in our custody, on May 10, CBP began transporting unprocessed family units across southern border sectors to leverage available capacity for processing and holding,” a CBP official told The Epoch Times via email.
Officials said that all migrant family units will undergo basic tests to ensure they are fit for travel. The types of transportation for sending migrants between southern border sectors “include van, bus, and air travel.”
