Trump Popularity Up

Trump's obvious patriotism is in dramatic contrast with the anti-U.S. attitudes of the Democrats who wish to run against him.  ABC News reports the results of a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll which found the following:
Bolstered by a strong economy, Donald Trump reached the highest job approval rating of his career in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll and runs competitively for re-election against four of five possible Democratic contenders.

Forty-four percent of Americans approve of Trump’s overall job performance, up a slight 5 percentage points from April and 2 points better than his peak early in his presidency.
Given that the poll's two sponsors don't like Trump even a little, you can be relatively sure there is no pro-Trump bias in these findings. The thing to note is the improvement over April, the trend line is up.

Imagine how much it pained WaPo and ABC to report pro-Trump findings, seeing them do so is schadenfreudelicious. Hat tip to Drudge Report for the link.
