The other side:

The most recent poll conducted by AP-NORC regarding Trump’s approval rating found that more Americans are unhappy with how the president has handled the economy. 

He faced public blowback on other issues including his management of the federal government and didn’t see much of a bump in approval following the end of the longest government shutdown in history. 

The president has also faced some criticism for his messaging on affordability ahead of the midterms, as well as his focus on foreign policy issues.
