Trump’s Approval Rating on Israel Soars
WASHINGTON (AP) – More U.S. adults support President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict in Israel after he brokered a ceasefire deal in Gaza, a new AP-NORC poll finds. Correspondent Bernie Bennett has more on this.
VERBATIM: The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research reveals that Preisent Trump’s apparent success on the world stage has not yet improved his overall standing at home. In interviews, even some of his voters said he needs to do more to address issues such as the economy, health care and immigration.
The poll was conducted Oct. 9-13, before the hostages and prisoners were freed in Israel, but after the ceasefire deal was announced.
In the new poll, about 4 in 10 U.S. adults approve of the way Mr. Trump is handling his job as president overall, unchanged from September.
