The following is from Rasmussen Reports.
A new Rasmussen Reports poll finds that 50% of likely US voters say they rate President Donald Trump’s leadership as good or excellent, while 37% say they consider his leadership poor. This marks a significant improvement from early 2017, when only 38% said they rated his leadership as good or excellent.
By a six-point margin, more voters say they think Trump’s leadership style has improved rather than worsened. 43% say they believe his leadership has gotten better since his first term, while 37% say they think it has gotten worse. Another 17% say they believe it has remained about the same.
Although Trump is still widely seen as confrontational, fewer voters hold that view now than in the past. Forty-one percent (41%) say they consider his leadership style too confrontational, down from 57% in early 2017. Meanwhile, 44% say they believe his approach is about right, and 9% say they think he is too cooperative.
Among voters who say they rate Trump’s leadership as excellent, 70% say they believe his leadership style has improved since his first term.
Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Republicans, 22% of Democrats, and 40% of unaffiliated voters say they think Trump’s leadership style has gotten better. Meanwhile, 59% of Democrats, 12% of Republicans, and 38% of unaffiliated voters say they believe it has gotten worse.
Eighty percent (80%) of Republicans, 26% of Democrats, and 46% of unaffiliated voters say they rate Trump’s leadership as good or excellent. In contrast, 62% of Democrats, 11% of Republicans, and 38% of unaffiliated voters say they consider his leadership poor.
Sixty-four percent (64%) of Democrats, 18% of Republicans, and 41% of unaffiliated voters say they view Trump’s leadership style as too confrontational. Meanwhile, 68% of Republicans, 22% of Democrats, and 42% of unaffiliated voters say they believe his leadership style is about right.

Trump’s leadership style may not have changed much, rather his ability to choose his cabinet is making a YUGE difference. He now understands the DC cesspool much better and knowing this is his final 4 years is more relaxed and confident in his actions.
His desire to Make America Great Again is coming through loud and clear to everyday Americans. Only ideologue idiots fail to see it. Even those corrupt individuals sucking off the govt teat know it, they just want to protect there cash cow!
