President Trump is maintaining elevated approval ratings following his impeachment acquittal in the Senate.
A Gallup poll released Thursday shows Trump with a 49% approval rating from voters, with 43% approval from political independents. The poll reveals deep polarization between views of Trump, with 93% Republican approval and just 6% Democratic approval, but Trump's support from independents is larger than at any other point in his presidency.
The results show that the president's approval has only climbed since his impeachment trial, jumping approximately 5 points.
"Trump's approval rating may be higher because of the Senate's acquitting him in the impeachment trial. Bill Clinton's job approval ratings also were higher spanning the time between his impeachment in late 1998 and his acquittal in early 1999," the survey noted.
"Americans' generally positive and improved perceptions of the state of the nation are also likely a contributing factor. These factors may be driving Republicans' and independents' ratings of Trump higher, but not Democrats," the survey said.
According to Gallup, voters are also more confident about the state of the nation than at any other point in the last 15 years.
"The latest survey finds a further increase in national satisfaction, with 45% now satisfied, the highest since February 2005," the survey's conclusion read.
The results echo a recent Rasmussen poll that found 46% of the public believes the United States is headed in the "right direction," noting that confidence in the country's direction has nearly doubled since 2016.
A recent poll from Monmouth University found that an overwhelming majority of people, approximately two-thirds, believe that Trump will win reelection this year, with only 28% feeling otherwise. The poll also showed optimism in the election increased 9 points since 2016, rising from 56% to 65%. Approximately 86% of Republicans and over half of Democrats and independents share that sentiment.
The Gallup data also revealed a growing number of the public identifying as Republican, rising from 28% to 32% in previous polling, and a marginal decrease in those who identified as Democrats and independents.
