Only the economic job approval numbers in particular are up and there is no graph readily available for those

**corrections/clarification on my (perhaps confusing early morning) wording- his job approval numbers are now at the same level or very slightly lower than previous 2017 levels, you could call it the ‘highest’ but since it’s dead even or very slightly lower I’d argue that point but it’s minor semantics. During that time his job disapproval levels were much lower, -44, so even after falling recently they are higher now despite not being at a peak. -51 is truly terrible and I disagree that it’s something to worry over given he is literally an Orange Antichrist.
