💬KEY QUOTE: “This is the highest approval figure we have ever shown for Donald Trump,” said James Johnson, J.L. Partners co-founder.

President Donald J. Trump has reached a peak approval rating of 55 percent, as reported by a new Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll. Conducted from August 21 to September 1 with 867 registered voters, the survey reflects a six-point jump from July’s results, with a margin of error of 3.3 percent.
James Johnson, co-founder of J.L. Partners, stated, “This is the highest approval figure we have ever shown for Donald Trump.” The surge follows Trump’s August 11 executive order federalizing the police force in Washington, D.C., and deploying federal law enforcement and National Guard troops, which has achieved significant reductions in violent crime (39 percent), robberies (57 percent), and motor vehicle thefts (35 percent), per police data.
Johnson highlighted the favorable climate for Trump, noting, “It might seem surprising, but the news cycle has been ace for the President in recent days: his crime surge in D.C. is backed by the public, and economic news has been positive.” The U.S. economy expanded by 3.3 percent in the second quarter, with stable inflation, rising consumer spending, and growing personal incomes. The S&P 500 also hit five record highs in August.
Johnson remarked, “While overly online Democrats have been excitedly speculating about Trump’s health, the American public simply thinks he’s getting on with the job—and give him a big thumbs up.”
