Pollsters to Newsmax: Trump Approval High Because He’s Delivering for Americans

Pollsters Jim McLaughlin, of McLaughlin and Associates, and James Johnson, of J.L. Partners, told Newsmax that President Donald Trump’s approval ratings are so high because he’s delivering for the American people.

“There’s no question President Trump’s agenda is extremely popular,” McLaughlin told “Wake Up America” on Thursday. “President Trump has a 52% job approval. One of the other interesting rating questions that we asked in there was 88% of Americans told us that crime is a serious problem — 88%. That’s nearly 9 out of 10. You can’t get 9 out of 10 Americans to agree on anything.”

“The Democrats are all worried about using certain words and going on the right programs and all that other kind of nonsense, [but] the biggest problem the Democrats have is their policies,” McLaughlin said. “Their policies are failing America, especially in the inner cities, and we’re seeing Donald Trump’s successes on the economy, on national security, and most of all, also on keeping the American people safe.”
