Donald Trump's job approval rating has bounced back from the record low registered in last month's Monmouth University Poll , as more Americans now see the president as having achieved some legislative success. The poll finds that support for the recently passed tax reform plan has increased and Republicans have made gains in the generic House ballot test.
Pres. Trump's job rating now stands at 42% approve and 50% disapprove. While his net rating continues to dwell in negative territory, this is an improvement from his December low of 32% approve and 56% disapprove. The current results mark a return to the ratings he received in the late summer and early fall of 2017. Positive signs for Trump include an uptick in public opinion that he has been successful in moving his agenda through Congress and increasing support for the recently enacted tax reform plan.
A majority (55%) of Americans say that Trump has been at least somewhat successful at getting Congress to pass his legislative agenda, while 41% say he has not been successful. This marks a reversal from December - before the tax reform bill was approved - when only 42% said Trump had been successful with Congress and 53% said he had not been successful.
Opinion is currently divided on the landmark tax reform plan - 44% approve and 44% disapprove. But this marks a significant increase in public support from December, when just 26% approved of the bill and 47% disapproved. Perhaps more importantly, fewer Americans (36%) believe that their own federal taxes will go up under the plan than felt the same when the bill was in its final legislative stages last month (50%). Still, the number who believe that their taxes will go up (36%) outnumber those who believe that their taxes will go down (24%) or stay the same (32%) under the new system.
...
In a look ahead to 2018, Democrats currently hold a negligible edge on the generic Congress ballot. If the election for House of Representatives were held today, 47% of registered voters say they would vote for or lean toward voting for the Democratic candidate in their district compared to 45% who would support the Republican. This marks a dramatic shift from last month, when Democrats held a 15 point advantage on the generic ballot (51% to 36%).

Monmouth has a fairly solid polling record....
SOTU bounce.....give it 2 weeks SH45 will say/do something ignorant/racist/sexist - his numbers will go back into the tank...
Food for thought - we can observe that in this poll, the "VS. Generic Democrat" polling tracks quite closely to President "grab-'em-by-the- pussy's" approval............
Your president is the single largest liability for the gop in this year's midterm elections -
Look for the Democrats to effectively bait him for the next 10 months....

Hey moron, if Monmouth polls are so great, why aren't you worshiping President Hillary Rodham Clinton, ya bootlicker?
Go suck Hillary's toes!
Polls are frequently wrong, get a grip dip.

Monmouth gets an A+ from 538.... but I'll go along with your argument - this one poll shows a tiny sliver of positive for the gop in 2018....but - what do they know?
SH45 and the gop's numbers will be back in the "shithole" by President's day....

Heh, it almost goes without saying, doesn't it? Trump's gonna trump.
It's kinda hard to measure. But Trump is all too happy to get down and roll around the pigsty with pretty much anyone.
I begin to think that Trump is the uber-Swamp and he's trying to suck them all in and drown them in his trumpy quicksand.
Trump is a very different player, a cagey celeb non-pol. And he has that asshole Roger Stone in his back pocket for the last 30 years, even if he pretends not to.
Yet, he's also their greatest asset. It just drives 'em crazy. LOL

I wouldn't count those chickens before they hatch.
The Dems are in bad shape financially and they have numerous internal splits and a lot of bitterness and rivalries fanned by their 2020 prez hopefuls.
And Trump's tax cuts are just ready to kick in.
