President Trump's approval rating has reached an all-time high of 47 percent in the new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released exclusively to The Hill, a two-point hike from last month.
Trump's approval rating was lifted in part by a 10-point climb among Hispanic voters. His approval rating rose by 6 points among Republicans and by 4 points among Democrats compared to last month's poll.
Trump's approval rating fell by 4 points among independents, and 53 percent of those polled hold an unfavorable view of him.
The rising numbers appear to reflect the strong economy and the president's summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

It sure helps to have billions in RW propaganda through Sinclair Broadcasting and Fox News to celebrate a North Korean nuke deal that isn't and a rising economy that is actually falling. At times, it just gets exhausting dealing with the gas lighting that is going on through Fox, Sinclair, Limbaugh, Alex Jones, etc. This does not even address the corporate media that happily gives Trump 24/7 news coverage.

Pompeo: North Korea remains a nuclear threat
Washington (CNN)Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told US lawmakers on Wednesday that North Korea remains a nuclear threat, but defended President Donald Trump for tweeting earlier this month, "There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea."
"I'm confident what (Trump) intended there was, 'we did reduce the threat,'" Pompeo told a Senate panel. "I don't think there's any doubt about that."
"We took the tension level down," he added.
Pompeo also confirmed North Korea has yet to return the remains of any of the fallen US service members who died in the country during the Korean War, despite the President saying last week that transfers were under way.

For the biggest group of American workers, wages arent just flat. Theyre falling.
The average hourly wage paid to a key group of American workers has fallen from last year when accounting for inflation, as an economy that appears strong by several measures continues to fail to create bigger paychecks, the federal government said Tuesday.
For workers in production and nonsupervisory positions, the value of the average paycheck has declined in the past year. For those workers, average real wages a measure of pay that takes inflation into account fell from $22.62 in May 2017 to $22.59 in May 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said.
This pool of workers includes those in manufacturing and construction jobs, as well as all nonsupervisory workers in service industries such health care or fast food. The group accounts for about four-fifths of the privately employed workers in America, according to BLS.
Without adjusting for inflation, these nonsupervisory workers saw their average hourly earnings jump 2.8 percent from last year. But that was not enough to keep pace with the 2.9 percent increase in inflation, which economists attributed to rising gas prices.

(2,540 posts)Of how republicans create an issue and then want credit for solving. They are like the nurse who gives a patient a heart stopping drug then does CPR and wants to be a hero.
We took the tension level down...the tension went up because DT went off the rails and started saying things like fire and fury about NK and calling Jong-un rocket man etc...
Now we are seeing it again with the budget after republicans tanked the debt with a tax cut. Now Ryan is all kinds of concerned about the budget and how bad of shape it is going to be in...
