Despite all of the rage pouring out of our culture toward President Trump, it seems that a vast majority of average Americans are satisfied with the performance he’s given in this critical leadership role, something not even Obama was given the privilege of experiencing.

According to a new Rasmussen poll, Trump is actually outpacing former President Barack Obama at this same point in his presidency, which is quite revealing when you dig into the nitty gritty of it all.

Rasmussen’s latest numbers from its daily tracking poll are the best Trump’s seen in a while. As of August 2, 50% of U.S. Voters approve of Trump’s job performance, while 49% disapprove.

Though he’s currently got the edge on overall approval, he’s still behind when it comes to those who feel “strongly” about his performance in office. “The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 41% who Strongly Disapprove,” Rasmussen reports. “This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -6.”

Over the last month, Trump has been hovering between 44% to 48% approval. The 50% mark measured Thursday is the highest approval he’s attained since May 22.

By comparison, at the same stage in his presidency, Obama, who had far more sympathetic media coverage, was at 45% approval and 54% disapproval.

Below are Obama’s numbers for the same period, which range from 43% to 47% approval:

All of the evidence from polls and from the fact Trump destroyed Hillary, the Democratic candidate was supposedly guaranteed the presidency, clearly illustrates just how sick and tired Americans are of liberal policies. Perhaps, in light of this fact, it’s time for the left to try something new.

If going harder and harder toward socialism is causing massive losses across the board, perhaps it’s time to reconsider the current strategy and maybe pull back to the center a bit more? Seems like a smart move, right?

Fortunately for us liberty lovers, the left is short on genius.
