A recent poll from conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports shows President Trump's approval rating has climbed to 50%, putting him ahead of where Barack Obama was at the same point in his presidency. Within the group that responded favorably, 33% indicated they strongly approve of the job the president is doing. 
49% expressed disapproval, with 39% indicating they felt strongly about that response.  The daily survey was conducted by phone last week and involved roughly 500 participants.  Meanwhile, a CNN poll that took place at roughly the same time did not produce quite as high a number for Trump, but it did show a significant spike in his rating. The president's approval rating soared 7 points over the previous month, putting him at 42%.  While that wasn't enough to eclipse the rating Obama received early in the second year in his first term, the responses did push Trump within 4 points of it.
