President Donald Trump's approval rating is at its highest point in the RealClearPolitics average since May 8, 2017.

But it's still not great on a historical basis.

On Friday, Trump's approval rating stood at 42.8% in the average — the first time it's been at that level in more than 11 months. Trump's rating was buoyed by a recent poll from the right-leaning Rasmussen firm that showed Trump with a 50% approval rating.
